Siwarex FTA on Profibus DP link to a 3rd party PLC

Hello SP:

You can insert a Siwarex FTA as part of the ET 200M station (IM 153-2 Profibus head module) that you setup on tyour 3rd-party master.

See ths FAQ on a Siwarex FTA with a S7-400 master (the Siwarex unit is a S7-300 module, so you have tio insert an IM 153-2 in the S7-400 Profibus configuration to set it up):

How can the Siwarex U, FTA, FTC be integrated in S7-400?

Here are the gsd files for different model numbers of IM 153-2, choose the one that corresponds to your IM 153-2 unit and insert it in your master's Profibus configureation:

Once the IM 153-2 is integrated as a slave on the Profibus network, open the modules catalog to select I/O modules and function modules, such as the Siwarex FTA.

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for your help,

Yes, I can't find Siwarex FTA (7MH4900-2AA01) in the modules catalog in si01801d.gse, but there is another module present - 7MH4950-1AA01, which is apparently Siwarex U. 

Would it be possible in this case for example to physically replace Siwarex FTA by Siwarex U in the rack, and implement the same functionality?
