1 For the slave configuration, the GSD file is needed. In our example, it is the file
TELE071F.GSD. This file must be in the right folder for the GSD files. It is in the
location where SyCon was installed. There, you will find a folder named
"Fieldbus". In this folder there are folders called "CANopen, Interbus..." and also
a folder called "PROFIBUS". In the Profibus folder, there is folder called "GSD",
where you will find the GSD files.
