Dear falcon7,

well... if I think about this ABB device I think I can remember that the CI854 is a DP Master unit, isn't it? If so you will not need any GSD File, at least not for the CPU 314-2 you use because in this case the CPU 314-2 will be used as DP Slave, at least it has to because the CI854 will be the Master, I guess.

In this case the CPU 314-2 runs at Slave and you have to use the GSD File of the CPU 314-2 to enter in the configuration tool for the ABB CI854. The GSD file for the CPU 314-2 might be found here:

PROFIBUS GSD files : SIMATIC

The way you need the configuration on the Master side is something I can not help you with, but the Slave configuration is pretty easy.

You go to HW Config and you set the CPU DP Interface into the mode DP - Slave. In the next folder you enter the data areas you want the CPU to provide or to receive I/O Data at.... that’s it.

I hope I could help you with these information’s.

Best regards
