Hello ashadako

You can give a try to below procedure

Step 1: Configuring the PN/PN Coupler in Project X1

• Open Project X1 in PCS7.
• Go to HWConfig and add the PN/PN coupler to your project.
• Configure the necessary parameters for the PN/PN coupler.

Step 2: Exporting/Creating the GSD File

• Since the "Create GSD" button is disabled, you will need to manually create the GSD file. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Find a Sample GSD File:
   • Look for an existing GSD file for a PN/PN coupler from Siemens or other sources.
   • Siemens may have sample GSD files available in their support or product download sections.
2. Edit the GSD File:
   • Open the GSD file in a text editor.
   • Modify the file to match the configuration of your PN/PN coupler in Project X1. This includes setting the correct parameters, I/O addresses, and any specific configurations.

Step 3: Importing the GSD File into Project X2

• Open Project X2 in PCS7.
• Go to HWConfig and use the option to import the GSD file.
• Add the PN/PN coupler to your hardware configuration using the imported GSD file.
• Configure the PN/PN coupler in Project X2 to match the settings of Project X1, ensuring compatibility.
