Hi Daniel, Thanks for the reply. I have found the GSD file (see attachment) and have since learnt via Supfina in Germany, that the unit was made specially for them by Siemens (Well, sub-contracted by Siemens to be built by someone else) Although obsolete, they appear to have found the intelligent part of that device and are shipping it over ASAP. In the meantime, we have wired each discrete input point from this remote control panel to spare I/O in the main PLC panel via a multicore cable, and have remapped these new inputs in the program. The machine is now working (6pm tonight) but I had some problems with the CPU 318-2, regarding downloading modified blocks andthe memory card fitted to the processor and"not enough memory" issues, even after compressing. (Mainly my lack of knowledge I'm sure!) I'd like toput up a seperate post for that, where I will hope to learn something from you guys! ATB for now, Rich AttachmentMMII0484.GSD.pdf (625 Downloads) |
