Profibus GSD Festo

[Berg]

Hello sirs, I have some CPX-terminal (CPX-8DE,CPX-4DE,CPX-8DA, CPX-4DA, ...) from Festo to use with Profibus DP. I'll use a Siemens PLC to read/write them. So, I have a question about the addressing using STEP 7 S7-300 (Config Hardware). A module with 8 inputs has a Festo address of Ix, Ix+1, etc. In Step 7 it would be, for example, I10.0 to I10.7. Am I right ? And more, if the module has 4 inputs (or outputs), will it use a whole byte ? In other words: I10.0 - I10.3 --> used in fact I10.4 - I10.7 --> addressed but not used (no access) One more thing, I don't have a complete CPX-terminal GSD file. Can anyone send me or tell where can I obtain it ? I hope that I've been clear in my question. Thanks in advance ... Best regards, Berg Edited August 2, 2006 by Berg
