The GSD file was installed on another device for D435-2. Additionally, I have configured X136 as Profibus port and I have defined input and output adresses in the profibus port configuration. However, the led DP/MPI is red on D435-2 and my I/O variables which I defined (PIW 0, PQW 0 etc.) give me "Does not exist" status in the Address list. Can anybody help me? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from D435 (DP slave) profibus status .

Also I have configured one input word and one output word in HW config Simotion Scout. Attachment IMG-c678a1a1e6bbc3013bfc02064e726a50-V.jpg (527 Downloads)
