Of course, the encoder will also operate on engineering tools of other manufacturers. In this case, proceed in
an analog way.
5.1. Importing the GSDML file
Encoder implementation in the engineering tool first requires importing the GSDML file in format XML
(„Extended Markup Language"). In accordance with Profibus GSD files, the standard name is GSDML.
The GSDML file is available for download at www.baumer.com.
Use this GSDML file:
 GSDML-V2.32-Baumer-EAx580_PN-20170112.xml
for encoders with firmware V1.2.2 or later
 GSDML-V2.32-Baumer-EAx580_PN-20190715.xml
for encoders with firmware V1.3.0 or later
Relevant difference of GSDML files:
From GSDML file «GSDML-V2.32-Baumer-EAx580_PN-20190715.xml" onwards the usage of the
functionality "setting of the preset value (PNU 65000) in the module parameters" is possible.
The revision can be seen in the date at the end of the file name. Here it has to be seen as an example.
The date has to be read in the format "YYYYMMDD" (Y: year, M: month, D: day). In the example above
the date is January 12
GSDML file import is in the TIA Portal
files (GSD)").
In the following dialogue please select the directory where to find the GSDML file which shall be installed.
The same directory also includes the corresponding bitmap file providing a small encoder image in the
engineering tool.
The file is displayed and can be selected. „Install" will finalize the operation.
