Using cRIO Profibus master/slave module with Siemens device. Looking for GSD file

Using cRIO Profibus master/slave module with Siemens device. Looking for GSD file. Would NI or Siemens be able to provide this?

Hey Kurt,

 

For Profibus, only the slave needs to be defined with the GSD file, so you would likely get that from Siemens if their device is acting as the Slave in this setup. If you are using the NI Profibus module as a slave, then the GSD is automatically included with the driver.

 

Take a look at the following article for more info on how to use the included GSD file.
