Integration with the GSD File

Besides the physical connection of a device to a PROFIBUS line, the engineering of the whole PROFIBUS system in the PROFI-
BUS master is necessary. Every PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or DCS (Distributed Control System), that can be used
as PROFIBUS master, offers the possibility to configure and parameterise devices connected to the master. Electronic data
sheets are used as a basis. In the PROFIBUS world these electronic data sheets are called GSD files. Within such a file all
properties relevant for operation of the slave are described (e.g. supported baud rates, max. number of modules etc.).
The GSD file for PDP32 can be obtained from ABB's web site: http://www.abb.com > Product Guide

Integration with the Device Type Manager (DTM)

In addition to the option of integrating devices with GSD files more and more modern control systems support the FDT/DTM
concept. FDT (Field Device Tool) technology standardises the communication interface between field devices and systems.
For the UMC100.3 a DTM is available which can be ordered separately. Consult the PBDTM manual for more information.
For creating a customer-specific application the DTM must be used! Parameterisation of the control and
protection parameters can also be carried out with the GSD file only.
