Hello RoxTech; The replacement software for Com ET200 is Com Profibus; it accepts GSD files, and allows the buser to generate binary files for the configuration of DPmasters in the S5(IM 308C) and TI 505 (CP 5434-DP/FMS) families. The following manual will give you an idea how to use Com Profibus with an IM 308C master: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1947787 Note thatthe whole S5 family has been unavailable through regular channels for some time now, so you will have to request a copy of this software (last version was 5.1, part number: 6ES5895-6SE03) from your Siemens rep. and hope he can find one somewhere for you /tf/WW/en/Posts/3551 And you will need a computer with an older OS to run it, I believe Win 98 was the latest supported OS for it; NT was not allowed if I remember. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hello RoxTech; If you have a IM 308C, then Com Profibus can upload and download from the IM 308C directly, or from its memory card. See the following manual, chapter 7: Com Profibus manual: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1498610 I am not sure that Com ET200 could be used with a IM 308C, I have a feeling it could not go beyond a IM 308B; but that is only from memory, as I am unable to find any info on that software anymore.But your will have to gather the gsd files for the different slaves in your network and import htem to Com Profibus before you do your upload; again from memory, this would remove any "undefined slave file" message during the import. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
