Hi all experts

Im converting a step 7 project to TIAv18

Context: we Moving from old cpu416-3 DP to CPU1516-f.

Challenge or problem: In TIA HW config, im not sure what or where the diagnostic address (HWID) is. i need help in ether finding it, or i need to change the FB im using (converted FB: (SFC58 WRITE DATA RECORD & SFC59 READ DATA RECORD)

Hardware: 6gk1 415-2aa10 (newer type) & 6gk1 415-2aa01(older version)

 thanks for the headsup. but i need to somehow read the data, could you help point me to a document that outlines the use of these advanced methods?

Thanks for the help so far

Typically, for s7-1500 hardware, you do not need to read or write data records.  There are some high performance or high functioning modules with advanced capabilities which may require the use of something similar to configure and / or acquire advanced data from the devices (modules).

thanks for the reply, i got the SFC "RD_REC" & "WR_REC" to execute, and some of the analog AS-i slave variables seem to be pulling through,

in step7 it was called the diagnostic address Example: W#16#1FE2

TIA V18; it is a system generated tag under system Constants

found in the device configuration>> Device properties>> System constants

So the Hardware identifier is similar to the diagnostic address

so this worked on my Siemens DP/AS-Interface Link 20E

6GK1 415-2AA01

But installed GSD on project is for 6GK 415-2AA10, 

i thought i'd add this if someone was actually doing something similar, and needed a read
