Name
Value
Main family
Attribute of the GSDML family element. It contains the assignment of the device to a function class.
One of the following values are allowed:
General Drives
Switching Devices
I/O
Valves
Controllers
HMI
Encoders
NC/RC
Gateway
Programmable Logic Controllers
Ident systems
PROFIBUS PA Profile
Network Components Sensor
Product family
Attribute of the GSDML family element. It contains the vendor-specific assignment of the device to
a product family. In addition to the main family, a device can be assigned to a vendor-specific
product family.
DAP vendor name
Attribute of the GSDML ModuleInfo/VendorName element. The VendorName element contains the
name of the device vendor.
The device access point (DAP) is a module of the GSDML to describe the device parameters
specific device. The device access point object contains most of the device-related keywords.
DAP hardware release
Attribute of the GSDML ModuleInfo/HardwareRelease element. The HardwareRelease element
contains the hardware release of the DAP.
DAP software release
Attribute of the GSDML ModuleInfo/SoftwareRelease element. The SoftwareRelease element
contains the software release of the DAP.
Extended Address
Assignment
Attribute of the GSDML DeviceAccessPointItem element. It depends on the protocol for the
assignment of the IP addresses supported by the DAP.
Default: "false" for Discovery and Configuration (DCP), "true" for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP).
Physical slots
Attribute of the GSDML DeviceAccessPointItem element. This list describes which slots are
supported by the DAP. The slot number of the DAP itself shall be part of the list.
Max. I/O data length
Attribute of the GSDML DeviceAccessPointItem IOConfigData element. It contains the maximum
length of the output and input data in octets. MaxDataLength shall not be less than the highest
value of MaxInputLength or MaxOutputLength. It shall not be greater that the sum of
MaxInputLength and MaxOutputLength. If the keyword is not provided, the maximum length is the
sum of MaxInputLength and MaxOutputLength.
Max input data length
Attribute of the GSDML DeviceAccessPointItem IOConfigData element. It contains the maximum
length of the data in octets which can be transferred from the I/O device to the I/O controller. This
length is defined by the sum of the output data of all used submodules, the corresponding I/O
producer status, and the I/O consumer status of the used input submodules.
Max output data length
Attribute of the GSDML DeviceAccessPointItem IOConfigData element. It contains the maximum
length of the data in octets which can be transferred from the I/O controller to the I/O device. This
length is defined by the sum of the output data of all used submodules, the corresponding I/O
producer status, and the I/O consumer status of the used input submodules.
Info text
GSDML ModuleInfo/InfoText element. This element contains human readable additional text
information about the device.
