Hello Saleh; Very sorry, you are right, the gsd v1.7 I pointed to is for an IM 153-3, and will not work with your IM 153-1. I apologize, and I am taking an appointment with my eye doctor as soon as possible. In the meantime, I have looked for other sources for your IM 153-1 gsd file, v1.7. The closest I can find is v1.6 or v1.8, from this site (you will have to register to download): http://www.gsd-db.com/index.php?keyword=IM+153-1 As I said in my earlier comments, I wornder why you cannot simply use the latest version of the gsd file for your part number. Do you have any specific indication that only this version of the file will be accepted by your master? If you absolutely feel you need exactly v1.7, I suggest you start a Support Request (see the link at the top of this page), and ask the Siemens techs for that file, if they have it. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hello Saleh; Your client seems to want to give you quite a number of headaches, it seems. S5 and S7 I/O modules cannot be used together in the same rack. An IM 153-1 is not compatible with S5 I/O modules.And all S5 modules are either spare parts, or discontinued. Actually, S5 modules come in various families, S5-95U, S5-100U, S5-135U, S5-155U... and they are not necessarily compatible between them... So first you must request from your client a list of the S5 modules he expects you to use, so we can help determine which S5 family they originate from, what kind of rack and power supply they need, etc... The only interface module that the S5 PLCs have to a Profibus-DP network is the IM 308C, and as all the S5 P:LC modules they are no longer available, except sometimes as spare parts (much more expensive). See the attachment below,and the following document: IM 308-C PROFIBUS-DP Interface Module - New Version With New Order No. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/6883963 Unless the client has in stock a reserve of replacements of these I/O modules, racks, power supplies and components he wants you to use as part of the Profibus-DP slaves in this project, you must know you (or they, if they do the maintenance) will have great difficulty in providing spare parts for the project, and upon failure will create difficulties in running the plant. I recommend that you study the situation and discuss it with them openly. Upgrading to S7 I/O modules with an IM 153-1 would be a much more maintainable system compared to the S5 suggestion they are making. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
