Hey ssg_vision,
Is there a particular part that you are getting stuck on? What exactly is the problem that you are having? Are you getting an error? I noticed that the whitepaper hasn't been updated in awhile, so some of the instructions may look different. Can you please post screenshots of the different steps that you have gone through?

Hey ssg_vision,
Unfortunately, there is not currently an updated EDS file. Is there a particular reason why you need to use VBAI 2015? If so, it may be beneficial to open a service request and (while I can't guarantee anything), they may be able to create a new one for you. However, this would depend on a lot of different factors, so again, I can't promise anything. But if you need to use VBAI 2015 with your PLC, I would recommend opening a service request with our Technical Support team and seeing if they can assist you.
