Hello,
I'm not sure how all thinhs are connected, but I assume:
M340/BMXNOExxxxx - AB7832 - MT2000 ?
Please notice the AB7832 is an Ethernet/IP to Profibus gateway. The BMXNOExxxx does not support Ethernet/IP, but only Modbus/TCP.
In your case you need another gateway that support Modbus/TCP
or the BMXNOC0401 which supports Ethernet/IP
or the Profibus Remote Master module TCSEGPA23F14F (instead of the AB7832).

Hello,
Using the BMXNOC0401 module will only reolve the issue of Ethernet/IP communication between M340 and AB7832 gateway. The GSD file should be used for configuration of the AB7832. For this you need to address your question to the company HMS, who delivers and supports that gateway module.
When you did not buy the BMXNOC0401 module yet, but you already installed the BMXNOExxx module, you can use the Profibus Remote Master module TCSEGPA23F14F, instead of the AB7832 gateway.

hello, i already added the ESD file of the AB7832 to the program, i think the M340 will only see the gateway and i dont need to add the GSD file of the MT2000.
i tried to use the PRM module, but when i want to connect it to the M340, i get the error message telling me that the DTM is not receiving a response on the default IP address, i have the SF led blinking meaning that the PRM have no config file, the STS led on the PRM is in solid state, meaning that the PRM has received the IP address from the IO scanner ( I'm using the DHCP mode to affect IP address), the rest of the LEDS are off. I'm using unity pro 13, Profibus Remote Master V1.3 CD , my configuration is ok (done like Schneider's video on YouTube ), i dont' know what I'm missing, if you can help on that i will be thankful
