Remote access of IO using DP/DP coupler
I have 9-DI821, 3-DO820 & 1-AI810 cards, if I want to communicate all these cards connected in PM851A via profibus to PM866 using Siemens DP/DP coupler then what type of byte system require to configure while downloading GSD.

You need to go read the manual for the DP/DP coupler.
You cannot read the IO modules directly. Each IO Module can only have **ONE** Master and you can only have **ONE** master on the profibus. So if the cards belong to the PM851A, then you need to read / write the IO channels in the PM851A then copy the values to and from the DP/DP coupler.
The PM866 cannot read and write to the IO modules directly - only to the PM851A via the DP/DP coupler. So whatever bytes you choose to configure in the DP/DP coupler is up to you.

Better you can do the MMS communication between the PM866 and PM851 by connecting a ethernet cable to control network and send the datas using MMS variable, due to more number of signal transfer u can do the MMS communication it will better choice.

As advised in your previous questions - please provide a sketch of what you want to do, for better understanding

Why you don't connect directly these IO's by Profibus to PM866, without PM851?
