My D435 will be an I-device connecting to an F-PLC and I will be using Profisafe on my servo axes, but I also wish to configure some DCM drives (CBE cards fitted to Advanced CU's) in Simotion as speed axes. I need them to drive to perform passive homing on my external Encoder. My question is, do I include them on the Profinet bus in the H-W config of my D435 . . . AND THEN create the I-Device GSD? This is a little bit new to me, so any advice would be appreciated. Regards, Graeme

Your must not create/export the GSDML file when you make changes on the PN Configuration of the SIMOTION until you change any settings on the I-Device tab Regards Christoph

The reason for my question was difficulty when creating the DCM axis, I could not see the encoder (DCMx.Actor), so I could not assign the axis. I thought it was something to do with the HW Config, but I created a digital encoder and it worked ok. Cheers, Graeme

Have you create a telegram slot for the DCM in HWConfig/SCOUT? The DCM devices are not supported by the the Feature "Symbolic Assigment" in SCOUT! Regards Christoph

I have given a Skydrive Link as the file is > 5MB, see linkHERE It uses the latest DCM's and a D435-2 using Scout 4.3. I tested the axis commands in an MCC program and I think I can connect to the DCM's. Is this what you mean? Regards, Graeme
