My first problem is to start COM ET200. I try to start it from S5 (under mindows XP SP3) but S5 fail. My first question is is it still possible to run COM ET200 under windows, or Have I to "build" an old system under windows 95. Second question, even if I start COM ET200, shall I find GSD of ET200M (the network contain already ET200B) Thanks for your help Yves

The IM 153-1 is a PROFIBUS DP interface module acc. to EN 50170 and can be accessed by any standard PROFIBUS DP master. Within the SIMATIC product range, the following PLCs can be connected: - S5-115/135/155U with IM 308C S5-95U/DP-M (up to 3 modules,one of which can be parameterized) S5 configuring: with COM ET 200 Windows from V2.1 onward - S7-300/400 S7 configuring: STEP 7 from V2.1 onward See here: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/4802097 And if you go for IM308C, Com Profibus is the alternative software for configuration. The compatibilityof Com Profibus islisted here: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/7479780 Above windows 2000, youwill have troubles.

That's both S7 DP slave ? I'have COM profibus and it's working with windows XP, but what about COM ET200 for my IM308B? Best regards

That's both S7 DP slave ? Hello Ena It is unfortunately just the way it isand has to do with the fact that COM ET200 uses/needs so called "Typefiles" (*.200 file extension) for the Slaves whereas COM Profibus (or any other "real" DP master config tool) use GSD files. There is unfortunately no "Typefile" available for the ET200M and a list of supportedIM308B supported Slaves can be found here: Configurable DP-slaves for IM 308B Ena I'have COM profibus and it's working with windows XP, but what about COM ET200 for my IM308B? Last time I installed COM ET200 was under the DOS shell of a dedicated Win98 bootpartition and while the install wasn't a "pleasent experience" it does work. I hope this helps and perhaps worthwhile considering to upgrade the S5 to an S7.

I can not stop the machine enougth time to do all at the same time. I thing i will try to do the reverse: first replace S5 by S7 keeping the old ET200U on my DP and after that replace one by one the ET200U by ET200M. Do you see other problems ? Best Regards

It's probably the best for option for you unless you have a spare IM308C. Ena Do you see other problems ? There's really only one oddity to watch out for from memory which is best explained in the FAQ below: Why is my ET200U slave not recognized by the S7 master? Apart from that (and the typical S5 code conversion cleanup related ones), I can't see any other problems. I hope this helps and good luck with your project
