New AB L32E w/Prosoft profibus

Christoph · May 20, 2010

Starting a new system up with the Prosoft profibus
controller. Are gsd files still needed for items
like oh lets say a dynapar abs AI25 series encoder.
and if they are needed where does one find them? Not
on Dynapars web site I know.

I´m confused, I know some encoders use ethernet interface but this is the first time that I see that they also use profibus interface.

Are you sure you don't mean profinet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROFINET

I have used encoders with profibus. I would assume a GSD file is still required.

Call Dynapar.

Found the GSD on the web site finally. I also have a bank of 8 Festo regulators that will be on
Profibus replacing 8 I/P's.
I have the encoder configured and powered. Now I am getting a flashing bus led
on the encoder and a red comm light on the prosoft module.
I double checked my wiring and dips and config, it all looks
good. Anybody have some ideas to check?

Finally answered my question. I had all the dip settings
backwards, off was on vice a versa,now I'll take a look
into the PLC for data. I might be back. Thanks for your
help thus far.

Do you remember where did you found the GSD file for the AI25?

BAJ · Aug 18, 2010

I contacted Dynapar, here's a link to the GSD file for the next person with this question.

It's pretty silly that their website isn't setup to allow access to this through normal navigation.
