In order to acquaint the gateway with the POWERLINK Managing Node
within its POWERLINK configuration, you need an XDD device description
file. This file contains the projected/planned configuration of the gateway in
a standardized description
POWERLINK specifications.
You can generate the XDD file in SWD-Assist from your project
configuration and import it into your POWERLINK engineering tool, e. g.
Automation Studio. There you can add the gateway as Controlled Node to
an already existing POWERLINK project and perform a data mapping for
the projected I/O modules (i. e. the SmartWire-DT devices). Afterwards you
can load the POWERLINK project onto your POWERLINK Managing
Node.
1. Generate XDD device description file in SWD-Assist.
 Open the project in SWD-Assist. (If you have just recently copied the
project configuration to the gateway – see preceding section – change
from the Communication View back to the Project View.)
 The Project View shows the project configuration:

file name, then click Save.
