Profibus Device Description with EL6731

  • Hi,


    I'm working with an IIWA, and I've been having a bit of trouble importing the device description file for an EL6731 Profibus Master device into WorkVisual. I am able to import the other device descriptions, as needed, as well as include the EK1100 in my bus structure. I found the XML description file, labelled Beckhoff EL67xx and when I get to the "device descriptions to be imported" screen, I can see the EL6731 in the list. However, when I try to import, every device description except the 6731 descriptions get imported :hmmm:. Maybe I'm trying to import this file in the wrong format?


    Thanks
