I-device TIA D434-2 pn/dp and im151-8F pn/dp

Hi,

Is there any possibility to have a CPU IM151-8F as I-device for Simotion D435-2 ? I have configured in Step7, but migrating it get lost. I want to have outputs ET200S of IM151 controlled by Simotion. I have tried to set up I-device in TIA and it is giving the possibility to send I <- Q or Q -> I. Not really logical, since the comercials are talking about I-device or shared device like you can borrow some parts of system to another system. It would make sense that output defined in Simotion controls the real output on ET200, Q->Q or input from ET200S is borrowed from Simotion I -> I. What makes sense to transfer inputs to outputs as this is the only possible in TIA? LIke PIW0 from ET200S is transfered to PQW100 of Simotion !!!??

The only way was to import GSMDL file of stored configuration of IM151  and connect it in network view, but then there is a mess with real one configuration of IM151.

Thanks Christoph for you effords,

I tried to make a configuration with TIA. I have CPU IM151-8F PN/DP, D435-2, TP1200 an PN/PN coupler. I have reserved 5 modules 4DO ET200S to be controlled by the D435-2. Classic way in Step7 was to export gsmdl file, when I tried to migrate to TIA I had to delete this I-device configuration, therefore I have tried to make a TIA configuration.

If you look how is done in Step7 you will find a 4DO module with phsical address QB38 in I-device mode is named submodule1000 with address 258 (I address) and in my SCOUT configuration I have an output address PQB258. Whenever I set bits in PQB258 in D435 the ET200S outputs turns on/off. They are working in Step7. Since the TP1200 can be only programmed in TIA, I tried HMI_proxy but I would prefer to store and change entire project, I am afraid that when liking HMI_proxy again for new Step7 strored name, some bug will rise up.

The only right direction would be to do everything under TIA, but I can't do the same configuration, TIA won't allow me to set address QB38, : this addres is  already being used - of course it exists and I want to make an I-device from it. The next address what TIA proposes is Q43, which it doesn't exists physicaly.

Hello,

what do you mean with et200S bus coupler?
You can use a Et200S Interfacemodule for the 4DO Modules, then you can control the output directly from the SIMOTION (no longer from the et200S PLC)

 Yes, I meant IM151-3PN HF or IM151-1 HF (Profibus).
