We are currently interfacing with a non siemens FlexIO device (gsd file is attached - zipped).

The device has some Parameter Assignment data associated with it, which can be viewed in the hardware configuration (see FieldMonitor.bmp attached). The output address Q567/Q547 (which I assume is the start address of where the configuration data is stored) has the symbol name 'Module config'.

What I would like to be able to do is read the Parameter Assignment data (the data shown in FieldMonitor.bmp) for the module using some SCL (or a FC written in STL)....

Although I am not familiarly with your FlexIO device,since it's a profibus slave device I assume it can be easy configured by STEP7 HW-Config using the gsd file.
Now what you see in HW-Config (FieldMonitor.bmp) is part of configuration/parameterization of DPslave by the master before normal Data-exchange.

This parameterizationdata is not usually returned by the slave into his output I/O since is staticdata known by the master and has no meaning for data exchange values. What you get into “Status” output might have to do with runtime device status - see device manual for more info.

PS. If I remember correct you can read parameterization datawith SFC54 but you have to do a little research.
Maybe you can post further question in Decentral Peripherie forum conference on this topic.
