In order to be able to evaluate values from PROFIBUS PA devices on PROFIBUS external masters (ABB or SIMATIC S5, for example), the address areas of these devices must be known in the DP/PA Link. The GSD tool facilitates configuring in that one single GSD file is generated on the external masters from the GSD file of the IM 157 (6ES7157-0AA82/81-0XA0) or IM 153-2 High Feature (6ES7153-2BA81/82-0XB0) in the DP/PA Link and the GSD files of the PROFIBUS PA field devices. Thanks to the reduced size that the operator can control, the GSD files created with the GSD too and the dialog boxes generated from them are once again manageable in the configuration. Populating the GSD file of the IM 157/IM 153-2 with new PROFIBUS PA-GSD files is thus drastically simplified.

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version V1.3.0 or higher that can run on all MS Windows operating systems is required to run the GSD tool (GSDTOOL.JAR). This JRE is available in the Internet free of charge. The download address is available in the readme file of the GSD tool.
The GSD files (*.gsd) of the PROFIBUS PA field devices are simply to be copied into the current directory of the GSD tool. The GSD tool then automatically creates a GSD file from these GSD files and the GSD file of the IM 157/IM 153-2 (see also the installation instructions in the readme file).

The instructions below show how to use the GSD tool to lucrate one single GSD file from the GSD files of the IM 157 or IM 153-2 HF and the GSD files of the PROFIBUS PA field devices.

No. Description
1 The GSD tool is available for downloading as a ZIP file.
2 Unpack the Zip file in a separate directory that you use as current directory.
3 Check the GSD files of the PA slaves.
4 Copy the GSD files of the PA slaves into the current directory.
5 In the current directory you double-click the "gsd-tool.jar" file to start the GSD tool. The "Welcome" dialog opens.
