I have a previously configured step 7(5.5) project with PDM (6.1)configuration one of the instruments on the profibus PA link now needs to be replaced with a similiar instrument(the original are out of production) .
I thought you might be able to change the GSD file in the hardware config, but apparently not, and all the manuals show how to put an new instument in rather than just swap an existing one.
Can some one please point me in the correct direction please.

Here's the recommended approach:
Important Considerations:
For detailed guidance, refer to the Siemens documentation:
If you encounter issues, please provide the exact error messages and instrument details for further assistance.
