Do you happen to have a follow up for this? I have done the same steps but I cannot configure my Siemens communication end so I'm not 100% on this working. I will be able to do this at the end of the month but not currently. Just wondering if this would work properly |

You need the GSD for the Beckhoff EL6631 module? You need to download it from Beckhoff web site. |

The GSD is specifically from the Master Profinet device, so I need to s7-1500 GSD for my project |

Hi Andy, There is no Master in Profinet but Controller. https://profinetuniversity.com/profinet-basics/components-device-controller-supervisor/ The PN Controller needs to know the features of the PN Device which is described in the GSDML file. As Duris stated, you have to know which side will be the I/O Device and you will need the GSDML file which describes that side. Then you have to install that GSDML file into the other side's (PN Controller) project. |

Thank you for getting back with me but the PN device I'm using requests to have the GDSML file for the Controller. I even spoke with beckhoff technical support and they have insisted that I have that GDSML file for the S7-1500. I can send this information to them as well but so far it is very unclear on how these two devices need to be configured. From my understanding from the Siemens end it is configured like a Standard PN device, according to the people who have configured the device they state that it is ready to go. On the Beckhoff end I have configured it to match what bits and bytes they are using for the transfer. I am currently having difficult with their coupling device, EL6631 it appears to not want to communicate with the project. This is admittedly a problem on beckhoffs end, we are looking into resolving. |
