Hello everyone!

I need some help configuring a annybus communicator of grossfunk on my hardware configuration(Tia Portal V14):

I need 32 inputs and 32 outputs, but when I add them on te interface of the device I receive this error:

"Differences were found between the loaded configuration and the offline project. 

Online article number: Anybus Communicator 

Offline article number: AB7013-C"

It's worth noticing that before adding these I/O modules I don't receive any error from the communicator. In resume, I need to add some tags to the hardware configuration so I am able to control my process through a remote control.

Thanks in advance to everyone!

Best Regards!

Hi royalmaster

i had this same situation and i found the solution. 

the problem for having this message:

"Differences were found between the loaded configuration and the offline project.

Online article number: Anybus Communicator

Offline article number: AB7013-C"

is that the firmware version of the physical anybus module and the firmware version of the anybus module you're trying to use on TIA PORTAL are different. 

what solved the problem for me was going to this page https://www.anybus.com/support/file-doc-downloads/communicator-specific/?ordercode=AB7013  then downloading the file named: 

then add to TIA Portal all the GSD file on this downloaded document, after this, try to add from the hardware catalog the anybus hardware (now its going to be like 6 anybus options to choose under the folder HMS industrial Networks) which on the PROPERTIES->CATALOG INFORMATION->ARTICLE NO.: says "Anybus Communicator" then downlowad the new hardware configuration and everything should be fine. the firmware version for this is the V2.05, and the name of the GSD file is gsdml-v2.2-hms-abcprt-20111003.xml

be aware of choosing the one which says "Anybus Communicator", not the one which says "Anybus Communicator PRT" nor "AB7013-C" because it wont work. 

if any doubt, just let me know. 

I have the same issue, but can't find the files.

Any chance you could share it?

Thanks!
