Step 7 hardware config

[sheldon]

Hi guys.
I am trying for the first time to configure my Step 7 hardware settings.I was successful as far as placing some of the io modules into there racks,that went OK. The problem came about, when I tried to locate and install the profibus remote unit the "IM 153-2 module", I cannot seem to locate that module no where in the catolog. I saw an Icon labled IM 153-2 but apparently that is not the module. Can anyone help me with the procedure to locate and install this module in the plc rack?

You should be able to find several IM 153-2 modules in the hardware catalog under PROFIBUS DP ... ET 200M

Maybe your STEP7 version isn't recent enough to have the ET 200M range.

edit: Oh, and you have to click that icon IM 153-2. Then a whole range of modules will be displayed. You have to know the exact order number f.ex: 6ES7 321-1BH50-0AA0 for a module with 16 digital inputs.
