And what can i do this with CP50M1 in STEP 7? Thanks in advance!

I need to connect do DP / DP coupler to CP50M1. I assume I need to parametrise in the same way over COM PROFIBUS. Do I need some extra GSD data ? Thank you in advance

The CP50M0 can be Master and Slave at the same time. For CP50M1 you use the STEP7 Tools HWConfig and NetPro to setup the bus configuration. The CP50M1 can be master or slave, but not both an one time.
