- Correction : If Gemstart5 was configured with infinite Ride-Through + motor voltage failed + Gempro had control, Interlock and Hard Stop inputs could not work properly
- Evolution : In order to gain memory for future evolutions,
Norwegian language has been removed. This one can be reintegrated as
User Language by uploading this file to Gemstart5 : Norwegn.glf and
selecting User Language in the configuration (procedure in manual

Profibus
Back to top
If
you are
installing GEMSTART5 on a Profibus link, you will need to add the
GEMSTART5 GSD file to your PLC configuration software.
Updates for v2.5
- Evolution : Replaced 4 Profiles containing 14bi. Two bytes are not used so changed Profiles to 12bi. Nevertheless, Gemstart5 all firmware is compatible with previous GSD files
- Evolution : deleted useless entries and validated by Profibus expert
Directives
if updating to GSD v2.5
- If previously using Profiles with 14bi in v2.3 you need to select the equivalent profile with 12bi and change PLC Profibus tables. For more info contact support
- For other Profiles compatibility is preserved
