This system will be a profibus slave in the main control system. The programmers of the main control system asked me to supply a GSD file of my system. How can I do this? I have an 313 C with aditional analoge I/O and a CP 342-5 module. Anyone who can help me?

But sometime you need GSD file from non siemens devices which must connected to profibus line. And to find this files is not so easy. Or another story - to find GSD file for old hardware. In this case sometime you must prepare this GSD file by yourselves. In google you can find GSD editor tool. Hope this helps
