S7-300 upload missing HW Config

Post by tientran »

Hi all,
I uploaded a PLC S7-300 project, but during the upload process, I got a message saying that some GSD files were missing ("GSDML-V2.1-#Siemens-PreConf_CBE30xPNxIO-20100209-144026.xml"). I continued the upload anyway.
However, after the upload was completed, when I opened the Hardware Configuration, the ET200S station showed up but with no I/O modules (the ET200S uses a memory card).
What should I do to fix this issue?
Does anyone have the missing GSD file that I might need? All of this because i need to change the PLC from 317 to 315F.
Thanks!

in your proj you are have a simotion with user-defined profinet message over additional tcp card.

Hello,

are your sure, that this is et200. If you google for CBE30xPNxIO - you find something with a Siemens Simotion.

And if you have Siemens Scout - you find some gsd-files in the Addon-Folder.

Hope this helps
