Take a look at http://www.aut.sea.siemens.com/pic, in the archive of documents there is a newsletter which contains an extensive explanation of the gsd structure.

Of course it is not the official syntax, for this you require the DIN 19245/3, EN 50170 of IEC 61158. But this would cost you some.

At http://www.profibus.com/ there is a free GSD editor program which may help you along via trial-and-error. There is also a simple GSD checker.

At http://www.profibus.ch/ there is a downloadable article about the proposed GSD for FMS, might also give you some clues.

Finally, you may want to search the Profibus mailing list archive at http://www.profibus.cz/ (ignore the Czech stuff, click on 'archive' ).

Greetings,
