Our queries:
1. What can be the possible reason for it?
2. Is the FM compatible with the CPU?
3. We do not have the V2.1 of FM in my hardware catalog and we didn’t get this version even after updating hardware from the internet. So we have configured with the available gsd. Is it because of these?
4. We are using D7-sys 6.2 Service pack3 with PCS7 V7.0. Is it OK?

-The Stop LED is continuously flashing

Please remove the MMC from the FM, restart the rack (S7 CPU should run, you should have access to the S7-CPU) and open a CFC chart for the FM458.
In CFC goto "CPU", "Module information..."

You should get some thing like this:
[code] Display of the system error panels SYS_ERR and INIT_ERR: Initial error: 0x0000
-> no initial error registered
Initialization error: 0x8000

Please post it here.

If your PC has a real serial interface (Com1 or Com2) you can connect it to the FM (9 pin Sub D connectors, one male, one female, wiring: 2-3, 3-2, 5-5)
Setup a terminal program (e.g. Hyperterminal) set it to 19200bps, 8bit data, even, one stop bit and no flow control.
When you start the rack the FM should shows "Hallo, ich lebe !!" followed by some additional text.
If you can get it, post it please.
