Hello Arun; The CP 1242-5 module acts only as a Profibus-DP slave. And in that case the Prosoft MV156-PDPMV1 must act as a DP master, since Profibus DPV0 is setup between a master and slave(s). The GSD file you are asking for contains information on the slave that is required to tell the master how it can be ibtegrated to the Profibus network. So you need the GSD file for the CP 1242-5 for this project: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/49852283 Your first step is to insert the GSD file in the master's Profibus configuration software. This, and the subsequent steps, are explained quite clearly in the Prosoft documentation for the DP master. Look in the Downloads tab of this link fot the MVI56-PDPMV1 manual, see link below. Profibus-DP cyclic exchanges are limited to 244 bytes OUT and 244 bytes IN, IN and OUT refering to the direction of the data as seen from the master. OUT refers to data sent from the master to the slave; IN describes data sent from the slave to the DP master. Hope this helps, |

Yes the master does have the gsd file of CP1242-5. |
