5.3 GSDML Manager

GSDML files ("General Station Description Markup Language") contain information about the features and capabilities of PROFINET IO devices, such as the number of interfaces or supported baud rates. PRONETA Basic already comes with a large number of GSDML files preinstalled. With the GSDML manager you can include support for further devices, and for devices which were only released after the latest PRONETA Basic version.
