PROFINET XML Viewer 2.3

PROFINET XML Viewer is a focused utility for engineers and technicians who work with PROFINET device descriptions. It opens and visualizes GSDML (PROFINET XML) files in a clean, navigable tree, making it easy to inspect modules, submodules, parameters, I/O mappings, identifiers, and diagnostic information without launching a full engineering tool.

Key capabilities:

• Open and browse GSDML/PROFINET XML files with a structured tree and detail panels
• Read-only viewing that helps prevent accidental edits to source files
• Quick search and filtering to locate parameters, text strings, and device attributes
• Optional schema-aware validation when an appropriate XSD is available, with clear error reporting
• Human-friendly presentation of technical fields to aid reviews, documentation, and troubleshooting

Typical uses:

• Verifying vendor GSDML files before integration
• Auditing device capabilities and options during design
• Speeding up commissioning and diagnostics on site by quickly checking identifiers and diagnostics
• Creating documentation by referencing clearly presented device metadata

PROFINET XML Viewer helps shorten the time from file to insight by turning complex XML into an approachable, reliable reference for day-to-day PROFINET engineering.
