3.5 GSD files for the data transfer
A PROFIBUS GSD ZIP file (e.g. GSD-31777813.zip; including both all GSD files and additional data
files) you can get on a CD ROM or can be downloaded from the internet. The GSD file contains
information that will be needed for project planning of the PROFIBUS communication network.
The relevant data files (e.g. _ _ _ _ .bmp / _ _ _ _ .dib) must be loaded into the bus configuration
system/master system before start-up of the bus system.
3.5.1 Cyclic data exchange
During network configuration the user has to define which function block outputs of the signal
converter should be transferred cyclically to the master. Network configuration will be done
using one of the GSD files described before. The order of transmission of a function block always
remains the same even if a function block is defined as an "Empty" block (if so, no function block
(if so, no function block (if so, no function block
(if so, no function block
output data will be sent to the master and all function block outputs following the empty block
output data will be sent to the master and all function block outputs following the empty block output data will be sent to the master and all function block outputs following the empty block
output data will be sent to the master and all function block outputs following the empty block
will move up one position)

will move up one position).
3.5.2 Ident.-No. supported
The signal converter with PROFIBUS MBP interface is based on PROFIBUS PA Profile V 3.0. The
device supports three Ident-No.:
• Ident-No. "4501hex" belongs to the GSD file KR024501.GSD and YP024501.GSD and includes
the complete functionality of the electromagnetic flowmeter.
• The application of the manufacturer independent Ident-No. "9740hex" (GSD file
"PA039740.GSD") provides interchangeability of devices, i.e. an exchange of electromagnetic
flowmeters of different vendors.
• Ident-No. "F401hex"
For detailed information refer to
Signal converter IFC 300 PROFIBUS PA with MBP interface
as replacement for older signal converter IFC 090 PA
on page 23.
Please follow the instructions in the manual of the host supplier when installing the GSD File you
need and the additional files (_ _ _ _ .bmp and _ _ _ _ .dib) into the PLC.
INFORMATION!
If separated by the bus configuration system the device entry of the PROFIBUS MBP interface
with PA Profile 3.0 will be located within the slave family PROFIBUS PA.
