Extracting data from AC500 to AC800 over Profibus
I am working on a project where we are controlling a mill application using an AC800 controller. We also have a vibration analysis routine running in an AC500 and we need to get some acceleration values from the AC500 into the AC800.
What is the best way to do this? As far as I can see I can configure the AC500 as a slave connecting over Profibus by connecting a PDP22-FBP into the controller Profibus port. Is this a feasible method of getting this data and does a GSD file exist for the AC500 controller to create the hardware library in the CI854?

The GSD files of PROFIBUS slaves are placed: C:\Program Files\Hilscher GmbH\SYCONnet\ABBPBGenericSlaveDTM\GSD
The GSD files of AC500 devices and PDP22 are copied in the above location during the PS501 installation

AC500 controller already has integrated Communication for MODBUS RTU. Better make use of it without adding any Modules
COM1 or COM2 of AC500 Controller shall be configured as Modbus RTU Slave and on the other configure AC800M as Modbus Master. Data exhange will happen between AC500 & AC800M controllers.
Please refer the below thread for Profibus communication in AC500
