I have uploaded the Program and i can see Profibus slave(DP-Norm) hooked up with PLC. I don't have GSD file. Now if i download the Hardware Configuration(after Some modfication in Addressing of AI Module) to PLC, What will happend with Profibus Slave? Is there any possibilty that Communication with Profibus Slave will get break if i download the hardware Configuration without having GSD file? i know that during download CPU will go to Stop but after downloading Hardware what will be the Status of Profibus Slave? i mean GSD file get lost from CPU hardware or it will be there? Thanks in advance.

In this case STEP 7 generates a "dummy" slave which represents the configured slave, for example after a station download to the programming device or after an older project has been opened and processed further. This "dummy" slave can only be processed to a limited extent. You cannot change the slave structure (DP identifiers) and the slave parameters. However, renewed downloading to the station is possible. The original configuration of the slave is retained. The complete DP slave can also be deleted.

The GSDML files are available in official website. About MT5320C-DP (Eview panel) ask KINCO's support. What is PC_RT ? Best regards, Hristo Mihalev
