Device Integration by GSDML

ABB Field Information Manager Learning Center

Field Information Manager supports the integration of devices by GSDML instead of using an FDI package.

Due to the limited information available in GSDML, the device views are very generic and provide information only in a flat structure. The device functionality in FIM is limited, i.e. Device Views are only available in read-only mode and Offline Functionality is not given.

Information provided by the used GSDML (like diagnostic bits) is exposed through the OPC UA server of Field Information Manager.

Note:
The GSDML used to integrate devices can be replaced by a suitable FDI package once it is available. When detecting a new device, an existing FDI package is always preferred over the GSDML for extended device functionality.
