gsdtool - CLI tool for PROFIBUS GSD files crates.io page

gsdtool provides utilities for working with GSD files, expecially in the context of the profirust PROFIBUS communication stack.

Installation

cargo install gsdtool

Generating Peripheral Configuration

The config-wizard subcommand interactively generates peripheral configuration data using selected modules and setting values:

 gsdtool config-wizard FRAB4711.gsd
Welcome to the station configuration wizard!
Station: "FRABA Encoder" from "FRABA"
Ident:   0x4711

Selecting modules (maximum 1):
Select module 1/1 (ESC to stop): Class 2 Multiturn
Code sequence: Increasing clockwise (0)
Class 2 functionality: Enable
Scaling function control: Enable
Measuring units per revolution (0 - 8192): 4096
Total measuring range (high) (0 - 512): 256
Total measuring range (low) (0 - 65535): 0

Peripheral Configuration:

    // Options generated by `gsdtool` using "FRAB4711.gsd"
    let options = profirust::dp::PeripheralOptions {
        // ........
    };
    let mut buffer_inputs = [0u8; 4];
    let mut buffer_outputs = [0u8; 4];
    let mut buffer_diagnostics = [0u8; 57];

Parsing Device-based Diagnostics

The diagnostics subcommand parses diagnostics reported by a peripheral using the information from the GSD file:

 gsdtool diagnostics si0380a7.gsd
Diagnostics Data (as fmt::Debug slice): [160, 0, 0, 32, 72, 100, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 41, 0, 128, 0, 0]

Bit 29: ====== Segment DP2 ======
Bit 127: A/B shorted, too much resist.
Area 40-47: 100 = Reflection error rate: 100%
