Hi, Thank you for your answer. In the document you mention, they are talking about Y-Link using IM157 modules which is not my case.. Do you mean i can use IM157 from HW catalog it will work the same ?? Another point is that in the documentation you can find here : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/fr/1142696 |

Hi, The High Feature IM153-2 modules IM153-2BA01 and 2BA02 (as well as their outdoor and fiber optic counterpart versions), have replaced both the earlier versions of the IM153-2 and the IM157. Thus the IM153-2BA01 or 2BA02 may be used as head modules for ET200M racksor DP/PA Links or Y-Links. There are however restrictions in theuse of a high feature 153-2 module when being used as a link module under PCS7 V6.1 SP1.The IM153-2BA01 and 02 versions are only supported for use as link modules by Step7 V5.4 and higher which only comes with PCS7 V7.0 and higher. Therefore if you wish to use an IM153-2 module asthe head module for a Y-Link or DP/PA link under PCS7 V6.1 SP1, then you must PHYSICALLY install an IM153-2BA81, and configure it in hardware config as an IM157-0AA82. All of this is described in the following FAQ's: http://support.automation.siemens.com/US/view/en/23372259 http://support.automation.siemens.com/US/view/en/23004099 Best regards, Rachel |

Hi, Thank you for your help. As you said we had to replace existing IM 153-2 modules by the ones you mention. It is now working. Thanks again |
