5.1 Device description file (XML)
In order to achieve a simple plug-and-play configuration for PROFINET, the characteristic
communication features for PROFINET devices have been defined in the form of an electronic device
data sheet, GSDML file:
"
G
eneral
S
tation
D
escription
M
arkup
L
anguage". Unlike the PROFIBUS-DP system, the GSDML file is
multilingual and contains several device variants in one file.
Using the defined file format, the configuration system can easily read in the device master data of the
PROFINET measuring system and automatically take account of it in the bus system configuration.
The GSDML file is a constituent of the measuring system and has the file name
„
GSDML-V2.34-TR-0153-PNLinear2-xxxxxxxx
“.

5.2 Device identification
Each PROFINET IO device has a device identification. This consists of a Vendor-ID and a
manufacturer-specific part, the Device-ID. The Vendor-ID is assigned by the PNO and for
TR-Electronic has a value of
0x0153
, while the Device-ID has a value of
0x0302
.
During start-up the configured device identification is checked and any configuration errors are
detected.
