I have an urgent task of integrating a CPU 315-2EH14-0AB0 v3.2 as a DP Slave to a CPU 41x-H within a PCS7 v6.x multiproject. I've researched that it can be done by 2 ways: 1) via Configured Stations (if you can have the two stations in one project) and 2) via GSD file (not necessary to have the 2 stations in one project). My problem in way 1 is that the PCS7 (I forgot the Simatic Manager version) does not have CPU 315-2EH14 in its HWcatalog, and when you put that project, it cannot recognize it (the CPU became a question mark [?]) and my problem in way 2 (though I haven't tested it yet) is that it seems there is no GSD file in the exact part no. of the said CPU 315 herehttp://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll/113652?func=ll&objId=113652&objAction=csView&nodeid0=10805317&lang=en&siteid=cseus&aktprim=0&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW&load=content&subtype=133100 So my question is, for way 1, can I update the HWcatalog of the PCS7 just as I do in Step 7 here:https://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll?func=cslib.csinfo&objId=40725411&load=treecontent&lang=en&siteid=cseus&aktprim=0&objaction=csview&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW If not, then is there any way of updating the HWcatalog of the PCS7? Also, for way 2, is there a GSD file for the exact part no of the said CPU 315-2EH14? Also, another potential problem for way 1 is, I heard something that we needed Step 7 v5.5 to configure the said CPU 315, but I'm sure the Simatic Manager of the PCS7 v6.x is not v5.5, can I upgrade it to v5.5 without ruining the PCS7 framework? Please respond ASAP! Thanks much!

To put it as slave you don't need to have specially that type of CPU (not with GSD). http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/21148499 Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

First of all, Thanks for the quick replies! daad: When you see your uploaded CPU that has a question mark, I think that's already an indication that you lack that particular Hardware in your catalog, not that you just don't see it. I think that requires a HWUpdate Installation. UMENCHO: You hit the mark! You don't need the exact part number of the CPU in order to integrate it in your HWconfig, especially when you do so using GSD file. I've talked to a local Siemens guy and he said it is ok if the GSD file has a lower part number to the actual. Although the version of my 2EH14 is 3.2.1, I've just used the GSD file of a version 1.3, and it worked well! Thanks again guys!
