Hello ghopper; All the modules you show are S7-300 I/O cards; they can be mounted on the S7-300's CPU rack (as part of the CPU's I/O configuration) or they can be used as Profibus-DP slaves as part of a ET200M configuration. Physically, this means installation of the required modules on the same S7-300 rackbut an interface module for Profibus-DP (an IM-153-1 or IM153-2) issetupinstead of a CPU. The attached image will illustrate how an ET200 M slave is configured in a S7 hardware configuration. You only need the gsd file for the IM-153-x slave module you will use;it includes all the I/O cards that can be setup on its rack; you select them at configuration. So you do not need individual gsd files for each module. If you care to look at the IM-153-x more in depth, here is a link to the manual: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1142798 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
