Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I'm running into the same thing now and am looking for help.

Hi there,

I've been working on a project using a 1515F CPU (6ES7 515-2FM02-0AB0) which controls several G120C drives (6SL3210-1KE12-3AF2 & 6SL3210-1KE15-8AF2). The communication between the higher-level controller (PLC) and the drive is managed using PROFIsafe. We use Telegram 1 for controlling the drives and Telegram 30 to take care of the safety signals.

When configuring Telegram 30 you need to assign a unique F-destination addres which will be a safe identifier for that drive. Next to that, the partner's F-addres (this would be de F-Source address of the PLC to my understanding) should also be known. However, this F-Source address can't be changed and is always set to "1" for some reason. In my project I set de F-Source address in the PLC to "9" so this should be "9" in the drive configuration as well.

When downloading the PLC using F-Source = 9, the safety signals don't work
When downloading the PLC using F-Source = 1, the safety signals do work!

Is this a bug maybe or is there something I'm missing? In the end, i'd like to be able to change the partner F-address to a number that I want. I'm using TIA V17 Upd.6 and StartDrive V17.

Thanks!
