2.8.7 GSD File
A GSD file is a device data file for registering slave configuration data in the configurator
(device or software that configures the master).
The standard GSD file for EPSON robot controller RC520 and RC420 is provided in the
following path:
c:\Program Files\Woodhead\Direct-Link\applicomIO2.3\Equipment Library
\Profibus_gsd\app0890.gsd.
For details of the PROFIBUS DP network configuration, contact the manufacturer of the
master device you use. If you use EPSON RC+ as a master device, you do not need to
register EPSON RC+ since the said GSD file was installed.
