I have a problem to load a GSDML file into the Configurator III

You can check the GSDML file with the “GSDML-Checker” tool.
The software can be downloaded from the following link:
PROFINET GSD Checker
download the original file directly from the manufacturer's website to ensure that it hasn't been modified or updated by the PLC.

I need the Kunbus Configurator III. Via Google there are still some links to your website. However, these lead to nowhere in the meantime.

Is the configuration of the DF Profinet IO card as a device also created with the Configurator III?

No, always via the controller e.g. Siemens controller, configuration creation e.g. via TIA with the GSDML of the DF Profinet IO card.

I get this error and the configuration cannot be downloaded. What can I do?

Definition of online device status in Configurator III

Frame Color of Device	Reason	Solution

Frame Color of Device

Reason

Solution

RED

Device is not reachable in online mode by the controller.

Please verify that:

a proper physical connection between controller and device is established.
GSDML choice relates to the exact physical device in your network setup.
device is switched on and runs.

BLUE

Device is been detected online. It relates to the choice of the selected GSDML item, but its (I/O)-properties differs.
I/O-configuration of the slots of configured device and the one of real device does not match.

So the (I/O configuration of the device/slave) is not correct. The device is been detected (address and name are OK), but it is not configured according to its real sibling.
- E.g: 4 IN | 16 OUT in controller/master configured, but a device/slave with 4 IN | 4 OUT connected and found.

Please configure the I/O slots according to the I/O setup of your real device!

GREEN

Device is been detected in online mode and communication runs properly.

configuration is OK
