Hi There,

I am having similar problem communicating to FTL51-D3QW4/0 via profibus PA. from your attachment I am unable to locate Extended version of GSD file ? Can you please check this for me, please?

Hello phyap;
I opened the Liquifant gsd files on the E&H site, and it provides a gsd file in Profile 3.0, in 2 libraries.
This is what the README document found in the zipped file attached to this poststates about the differences between the 2 libraries:

• The GSD file in the "Extended" directory is used, for example, for the project planning software STEP7 of the Siemens S7-300/400 PLC family.

• The GSD file in the "Standard" directory is used for PLCs which do not support an "Identifier Format" but only an "Identifier Byte", e.g. PLC5 from Allen-Bradley.

  
  

  
  

  I suggest you look at the contents of your gsd files in your HWConfig, and see if they are at Profile 3.0. If not select the Extended one included in the attachment and integrate it is your project.

  
  

  Hope this helps,

  Daniel Chartier
