How to edit the device-specific parameters of a Profibus DP Slave?

Dear Experts.

For a row of quality tests i need to create a lot of different Step7/NCM hardware configurations. I try to use the command interface to automate the creation of the configs.

(Note: Using HWConfig program these parameters can be altered by opening the properties of the according ProfibusDP Slave and switching to “parameters” in the header of the properties window. Find attached a german example picture)

I used the following code:

[code]
Dim AttrValues As Object

'Auslesen der Gerätespezifischen Parameter
AttrValues = S.Projects(Pro_Name).Stations(Sta_Name).subsystems(Address).Slaves(PBSlave_Addr).normslave_param_data

'Ändern der Gerätespezifischen Parameter
AttrValues = "81 00 80 20 00 0F 41 42 ......7 77 77 77 77 77 77 02"
S.Projects(Pro_Name).Stations(Sta_Name).subsystems(Address).Slaves(PBSlave_Addr).normslave_param_data = AttrValues
[/code]
The drawback is, that the changes need to be done by changing the hex-parameters.
