Direct software start via TCI - Tool Calling Interface (TCI) for the RS4soft and SafetyLab graphic user interfaces
The integration of field devices as slaves on PROFIBUS-DP and PROFINET-IO is generally made using the device-specific GSD file. This is interpreted by an engineering system, such as STEP 7 from Siemens, and provides the user with a user interface for setting device parameters. However the GSD file is not suitable when safety-relevant or many and complex parameters have to be set
