The PROFIBUS GSD file is required to operate the SINAMICS G120X via PROFIBUS and to allow the configuration tools to recognise the inverter. Examples of configuration tools are previous and current STEP7 versions or COM PROFIBUS. Within the tools the corresponding import functions are provided.
Please note that there is a dependency between GSD file and the SINAMICS G120X firmware. See Table 2 for details.
The PROFINET GSDML files are required in order to operate the SINAMICS G120X as a node on PROFINET and to make the device known to the configuration tools. The TIA Portal is a good example of a configuration tool. Import functions are available in the tools.
Please note that there is a dependency between GSDML file and the SINAMICS G120X firmware. See Table 1 for details.
