Resolution
If you try to change the slot configuratiopn for a Profibus ifm10DBB slave device in the 'Prosoft Configurator for Modicon' software, the drop down list box could be blank.
The cause of the issue is due to the software failing to decode the gsd file when the allowable slot module range (“x-y”) starts with zero. (i.e. x = 0).
Note: There is no issue when the allowable modules are in a list e.g. 0,1,2,3,4… or if the module range does not start with zero, e.g. 1-5 or 100-115
To resolve the issue,
Change the “Allowable Module Range from 0-4, to 0,1-4.
