ot configure virtual slot. finally here-S7 ConnectionDeltaV apparently is a common question but I have not seen in the support files a sample program for this type of connection if you have one that meets this requirement please do me directions.
Hi,
Could you give some more data e.g. some screen shots from both sides settings?
Do you have blinking LED:s bus fault?
You could recheck the siemens side by reading: support.automation.siemens.com/.../llisapi.dll
It is really important that you have the lengt of the communication right, there can´t be any differences on either sides.

Here are some information borrowed from other instances:
Configuration Parameters Slot Configuration In DeltaV first 3 slots are to be created for 1st, 2nd and 3rd general ID and are reserved. These 3 slots with no I/O signals are required to be configured in DeltaV for housekeeping purposes. These slots are not configured in the PLC. DeltaV user data slots start at slot 4. PLC user data definition starts from slot 1. The slots assignments for the user data in DeltaV and the PLC must match. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 describe the various slot types that can be configured. The slot definition comprises of 3 parts: part 1 defines the direction of data transfer, I stands for Input and Q stands for Output, part 2 defines the slot length and part 3 defines the data format. E.g. Slot definition Master_I Slave_Q 4 B tot lgth means this is Input to Master and Output(Q) from Slave and has 4 Bytes of total length.
Slot configuration limiting values In DeltaV maximum of 32 slots per PLC for user data exchange can be configured starting from Slot 4 to Slot 35. These Slots can be freely mixed. However the same sequence and slot type should be available on the PLC for communication to be established and these are numbered from 1 to 32. Following table lists the maximum data exchange for a PLC over Profibus.
In the PLC configuration 32 slots can defined for user data exchange and they need to match DeltaV configuration. The Type I stands for Input and Q stands for Output. Output from DeltaV is Input to PLC and vice-versa. While assigning Master Addresses continuous addressing is to be defined for Inputs and Outputs. These addresses are not significant for DeltaV as there are no Address areas in the DeltaV. Note : When the CPU of the PLC goes to STOP mode, data in the CPU intermediate memory are overwritten with “0” that is, DeltaV reads its inputs as “0”. However when the Profibus communication stops the CPU intermediate memory is maintained and the CPU uses the stale data. Therefore it is advised to have a life signal in the communication which takes care of this issue.
Configuration Rules The following rules apply:
Configuring DeltaV The following steps are required to configure an instance of a PLC in the DeltaV I/O database:
Error reporting and recovery In case of communication failure the status of the DST is set to BADNOCOM and it can be used in the Control Module for interlocking. Recovery of communication with the PLC is automatic.
there is a document on the E-net : http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/attachment.php?s=282fe718226fa5e7abbf8e2b3a8ae42a&attachmentid=5655&d=1156136099 but you first have to register
