Hello Lynn M I'm afraid to say that you can NOT use the 6ES5-318-8MB11 as a DP Slave of an S7 as it is not compliant with the Profibus Standard(it only supportsthe propietary "DP Siemens"protocol and can only be used as with older S5 Profibus Masters in combinationwith COM Profibus V3.x or older configuration software). The 8MB12 and/or 8MB13 can be used thoughand below are a few more links concenring this matter: Configuration of certain DP slaves is not possible in COM PROFIBUS V5.x Various PROFIBUS DP-Protocols for IM 318 Coupling ET200U DP (6ES5 318 8MB12) to an S7 master I hope this helps |

Hello Lynn M The IM 316is a "passive" device that allows multi tiered cofinguration of a station, but is itself NOT part of the DP Slave configuration (which is why you won't find it as a module ofthe ET200U IM 318 station in the S7 HW catalog). Attached is a pic which more on this, which is taken from theET 200U Distributed I/O Station manual. |

New question published by Umesh is split to a separate thread with the subject How to communicate S7 master with ET200U cards in expansion rack after IM 315-8MA13 through /via IM 318-8MB12?. Best regards |
