Hello,

if I could ask for better JPG in ZIP or PDF file, not Office files.

Hello,

sry for late answer. In case you have PN Controller job via CP, you need use other blocks for data exchange, I expect PNIO_READ/WRITE, hope I good remember. DPXX blocks you can use only via CPU connections or in other case if allowed. I recommend check manual for your S7-400 CP module where you can find all what you need, also examples hope. That S7-300 exported GSDML file I expect generally as ok to include inside S7-400 PN Controller. Be careful for some data exchange limitation with CP, all is inside documentation of course. In this case it can work without problems, I think.

Hello,

no because your second picture shows same as I said that PN controller can exchange data via its PN internal port, you can see there that S7-300 is PN controller. This is answer to your picture. Find simply next cfg in that document where S7-400 is PN controller and S7-300 as IO device, maybe some pages next and see comm via CP on S7-400 side. Pls return here with infos if I'm right....

Upd: aaaaah ok now I see that S7-400 case for PN Controller is that picture as you show on first screen, sry. Then it looks to me that as you said, DPXX_DAT blocs can be used. Really now it is strange to me but pls check what I recommended before, your S7-400 CP manual where all must be explained for sure.

Really I was every time with rule that in case of use CP (also my previous experience) special blocks need to be used then. This is first time that I'm really not sure, pls check better that manual to CP for sure where PN Controller feature must be explained clearly ;) Be kind come here after that with info.

Hello,

from your second screenshot is clear that option (2) blocks sits on first position (Controller 1) and no blocks feature on position 2 so in this case is also expected that no special blocks are required in this case, only add GSDML file of S7-300 configured. I think that same is also inside manual of CP S7-400 as PN Controller.

Update: I've found it, look to attachment from CP 443-1 ADV PN Controller functionality.
