		Profibus GSD files
		==================

All GSD/DDB and type files needed to commission
the FRABA Profibus encoder are included in the
sub-directories. Also a high-quality bitmap for
graphical representation is included. 

GSD File Installation
   
1. The GSD-file format is vendor independent and supported by most
   PLC manufactures. Use the GSD-File for commissioning programs like
   COM Profibus, STEP 7, Mitsubishi Profimap and others. You should
   use the GSD file whenever possible.

2. Pick your language. The sub-directory \GSD contains several
   language versions of the GSD files.

3. Copy the GSD files to the GSD file directory of your
   commissioning tool. This directory is typically named \GSD.

4. Copy the bitmap (\bitmaps\AWC58xxn.bmp) to the bitmap directory.
   This directory is typically named \bitmaps.
   There is also a 16 and a 256 color version of the bitmap.

5. Restart your configuration tool.
   
   For detailed installation instructions please refer to the
   documentation of your commissioning and configuration tool.

Type File Installation

1. The Type files should be used only for older versions of SIEMENS
   commissioning tools like COM ET-200 for DOS and COM ET-200 for Windows.
   COM Profibus users should use the GSD files.

2. Copy the Type files to the Type file directory of your
   commissioning tool. This directory is typically named \typdat5x.

3. Copy the bitmap (\bitmaps\AWC58xxn.bmp) to the bitmap directory.
   This directory is typically named \bitmaps.
   There is also a 16 and a 256 color version of the bitmap.

4. Restart your configuration tool.
