Master Setting
Obtaining an GSD File
If you perform master configuration using an GSD file, obtain the GSD file and load it into the network configurator software in the following way.
GSD file is stored in a robot controller. When WINCAPSIII receives "I/O" data from a robot controller, the data is stored in the project folder of WINCAPSIII. The following shows the destination folder path.
- GSD filename and its location
| Folder Path | ...\"Project Name"\Data\Controller\IO\Profibus\ |
|---|---|
| File Name | EL6731-0.gsd |
