Since the VIPA specific CPU parameters may be set, the installation of the
SPEEDBUS.GSD from VIPA in the hardware catalog is necessary. The CPU may be con-
figured in a PROFIBUS master system and the appropriate parameters may be set after
installation.
The GSD (Geräte-Stamm-Datei) is online available in the following language versions.
Further language versions are available on inquires:

The GSD files may be found at www.yaskawa.eu.com at the service area.
The integration of the SPEEDBUS.GSD takes place with the following proceeding:
1.
Go to the service area of www.yaskawa.eu.com.
2.
Load from the download area at
‘Config files
