Hello to everyone. I want to ask you
What is Profinet configurator and what does it do?
Do we need Profinet configurator if we have a gsdml file?
For example, if I want to add a Siemens or Phoenix Contact branded I / O Device to ABB Robot, should I use Profinet configurator or use a Gsdml file?
Thank you :)
 
The "gsdml" file is for recognizing and configuring the Profinet devices use in the plc Logic.
A "Profinet Configurator" (like Profinet Commander) is for connecting to the device over Profinet and configuring the device name (to match what you used in the PLC logic configuration) and IP address on some devices.
