Introduction
This quick start guide describes an approach how you can configure the DIGIFORCE®9311 via TIA Portal
using the example of S7-1511 CPU with a CM 1542-5 PROFIBUS Module. Please note that the samples
here cannot be directly used in your production line because they have beed extremely simplified to reach a
better understanding. Therefore, you may have to complete them by checking of status, error, length values
etc.
Please also note that you will have to use the DIGIFORCE®9311 PROFIBUS manual to get futher
information about input and output parameters (cyclic as well acyclic data transfer)
