Hello ,

I have a problem with VIPA IM353DP and I want to change it with Siemens IM153-2, is it possible without changing the HW config? just plug & play.

Thanks 

Hello Daniel,

thank you for your support, I'll do the test .

best regards

Hello Daniel,

I did the test but it doesn't work.  

Hello Abdelhadi;

Thanks for confirming, you cannot simply drop in a Siemens IM to replace an equivalent Vipa unit. "Different configuration data" means you will have to modify the hardware configuration to introduce the new IM 153-2.

Thank you,

Daniel Chartier

hello Daniel,

I didn't just drop it , I changed the HW config  and the Error as you saw in the picture. did I did something wrong? (my CPU is  VIPA315).

Thank you

Hello abdelhadi;

It is difficult to read the picture you attached, can you provide screenshots, screencaptures instead?

The messages I can decypher indicate a difference between the coniguration data of the im 153-2 and the modules found on the rack. Secifically, modules in slots 3 to 15 are declared faulty, which means that the configurator does not recognize any I/O module attached to the iM 153-2.

What steps did you implement to make the IM 153-2 a replacement for your earlier module? Did you import a new gsd file, for example from this link:

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/113498

Could you show us (clearly) the configuration screen that is behind the diagnostic page you attached earlier, it would be good to know what modules you have set up with the IM 153-2.

Hope this helps,

Daniel Chartier
