Hello miguelito; There is no gsd file associated with a Siemens RS-485 repeater. When you use it in a Profibus network, you must include one repeatereach timea segment has reached the maximum number of slaves possible (32) or when the length permitted for a segment has been exceeded (100 m at 12 MB, 400 m at 500 kB...). In Step 7, under Bus Parameters for the Profibus network, you must state the number of repeaters used, as this will influence the calculation of theT-Bit parameters of the bus. But the repeater is not considered as a Profibus slave, holds no Profibus address and does not require a gds file. See the information from this Product Support page: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/41861897 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
