Hello,

this depends which communication relation you use for the communication.

i-Device on PROFINET-IO -> one PLC is configured as IO-Device the created GSDML is used in the other PLC for communication

EthernetCommunication -> TSend/TRec, TCPSend/TCPReceive Functions can be used.

Hi,

the GSDML For i-Device must be created by yourself!
And correct for TP1500 no GSDML File available because nobody need a GSDML For this Paneltype, it have no Keys so the PLC can't access it with PROFINET IO -> No GSDML Need.

So if you no able to use the Simotion Scout TIA and configure all devices in the TIA Engineering (I don't know why this is a problem for you , at the moment) then you must configure the SIMOTION as i-Device inStep7 create the GSDML and install it in TIA, or you configure the PLC 315 as i-Device create the GSDML in TIA and import it in Step7 and configure it in the SIMOTION D Project .

1.) yes with the GSDML you can configure the i-Device Communication
FAQ: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478798

2.) this is not possible

3.) read , read, read ! ther is no GSDML exists for CPU315 DP/PN you must create the GSDML depends on the configuration of the PLC 315 you use! No Standard GSDML available!

This works for me if you don't need to worry about safety PLC's or any of that other *** that requires proxies.

 but he will use the SIMOTION in the Scout Classic with Step7 V5.5 and not in TIA :(
If he use TIA Portal + Scout TIA then is easy but the this way he wouldn't go
