Absolute encoder installation<br />

3.3 Shielding philosophy<br />

3.4 GSD file<br />

26<br />

To achieve the highest possible noise immunity and resistance<br />

against other EMI related disturbances the bus and power supply<br />

cables shall always be shielded. The screen should be connected<br />

to ground on both ends of the cable. In certain cases<br />

compensation current might flow over the screen. There<strong>for</strong>e a<br />

potential compensation wire is recommended.<br />

In order to start using an absolute encoder with <strong>PROFIBUS</strong> <strong>DP</strong><br />

interface, a device description file needs to be downloaded and<br />

imported to the configuration software.<br />

The device description file is called a Generic Station Description<br />

file and contains the necessary implementation parameters<br />

needed <strong>for</strong> a <strong>PROFIBUS</strong> <strong>DP</strong> device.<br />

Available GSD files can be downloaded from<br />

The GSD data is saved in the <strong>PROFIBUS</strong> master and transferred<br />

once to the encoder when the system is powered on. If the<br />

encoder has been started with one GSD file and a new GSD file<br />

with a different ID-number shall be used, the encoder needs to be<br />

restarted be<strong>for</strong>e it can use the new GSD file.
