Only V4.1 is FREE. By Siemens, you dont need it. He have all GSD-Files for FREE. (Own Products) |

Hello benjas; Do you mean manufacturer gsd files? Each manufacturer is now responsible to update and make available the gsd files for the slave it proposes. On the Product support page at the top of this window for example you can download gsd fles for differnt Siemens slaves. Open the link, do a Search on "gsd files", click on the download selector and you will find many downloads available for free. If it is the GSD Editor you want, here is an executable file for version 4.1. But be careful when you use it. If you modify a manufacturer's gsd file for your own needs, then the file you use in your ptroject will no longrer be "standard" and your application will require your to keep a copy of the modified gsd file when you transfer it to another system... Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier Attachmentgsd_ed.zip (4266 Downloads) |

Hello senthikumar; From the ABB site, it seems they are using the same RPBA or FBPA adapter from Anybus for their Low voltage AC drives. The specific gsd file you would need is discussed here: ABB Fieldbus Interfaces FAQ: http://library.abb.com/global/scot/scot201.nsf/veritydisplay/ec9a4cdcbd9063bbc125731300423b7b/$File/FAQ_FB_ABB_Drives_20070709.pdf RBPA-01 and FBPA-01 adapters (Profibus) manual and GSD file download: http://www.abb.com/product/seitp322/f12b5520207bb331c1257265002a17d6.aspx In the Fieldbus Options box, select FBPA-Profibus(3) for example.

Hi senthilkumar, Yes it's possible to create/change gsd file. But I suggest you to try to find necessaries GSD already prepared. This way is easiest and fastiest. So ABB drive could use NPBA-12 N-series Profibus adapter, RPBA-01 R-series Profibus adapter or FPBA-01 F-series Profibus adapter. In your case ACS550 is using ABB Drives R-series fieldbus modules. PROFIBUS DPV0 / DPV1 RPBA-01. And you need GSD file for this module. For RPBA-01 module: · ABB_0812.GSD for PROFIBUS-DPV0 slave mode · ABB10812.GSD for PROFIBUS-DPV1 slave mode (RPBA-01 Rev. H onwards) * * NOTE: If DPV1 mode is used the adapter configuration parameter DP MODE (51.21) should be set to ‘1’. Hope this will helps. Best regards Hristo Mihalev |

Hello dchartier; A very high kudos for your work on this forum: you practically make things easy for the site members. However I really need the gsdedit program v4.1 that you posted on the forum. But the download require a user name and password which my normal site login (username and password) is not working for. Please can you provide the required username and password. Thanks much gratitude in advance; |

Hello seyt; I find it strange that a login/password should be required for the download of the gsd editor file, at least for me there seems to be no problem. I will attach the zip file with this message. The problem you might have is the version of OS you are working with. Messages of the type "Mrcex42.dll is missing" are, to my experience, linked to files that were generated for Win 2000 or Win 95 (I proposed the gsd editor file in 2008...). Trying to launch them with Windows 7 can bring this type of message up. So look at websites such as this one that propose solutions if the p^roblem arises: Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hi Daniel, Do you have a newer version of GSD Editor? Links above don't work anymore.

Hello Rik; The last free version og the gsd editor was v4.1; I can't locate a dowload site for it anymore. The latest is v5.1 and it is free only for members of PI. Which is normal when you think about it: normally only Profbus developers should require such a tool, since they are responsible for providing the gsd files for the equipment they put on the market. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
