Which GSDML file is proper for me with AB6605 Profinet module?
Hello ~
I'm adding the Profinet fieldbus protocol for our product using AB6605 Profinet module.
Unfortunately, I'm a beginner for Profinet.
But, I already have a experience that I finished the EtherNet/IP with AB6604 sucessfully.
Anyway ~ I know that Profinet master device need the GSDML file of adapter device like EDS file of EtherNet/IP.
Q1)
There are 2 GSDML files on the support page of AB6605.
GSDML File For PROFINET IRT v.1.xx (Standard and Fiber Optic)
GSDML File for PROFINET IRT v.2.xx
What is difference between v1.xx and v2.xx?
Q2)
I found that we have to adapt the GSDML file to suit our product unlike EDS of EtherNet/IP and I downloaded the HMS Profinet GSD Generator tool.
Is there any documents about how to use the HMS Profinet GSD Generator tool?
Thanks ~
Best regards

Hello Tiger,
The 2.xx vs 1.xx is regarding the firmware version on the compactcom. There are some changes required for firmware > 2.00.
The GSD zip files downloaded from the site are for the included example ADI mapping of the host applications. You should be able to use the GSDML tool to create a GSD file specific for your devices. See appendix G for additional details for Profinet.
All protocols should have device description files specific for your device, this includes Ethernet/IP and Profinet. You should be customizing the application to set your own parameters such as vendor ID. The GSD generator tool is designed to setup a basic GSDML file for profinet but some modifications may be necessary.
