Profibus communication between CIF-50 and S7-1500

Hello,

I have a slave profibus board CIF-50 from the manufacturer Hilscher and I want to setup a communication between this board and a S7-1500 PLC as master. How can I achieve this using Siemens TIA V13? After configuring the communication, how do I set the data areas to transfer information between master and slave?

Hello Pelielo;

I have no direct example of the S7-1500 connected to a Hilscher CIF-50-PB, so here are a few documents that should give you a head's up:

• Hilscher CIF-50-PB documentation

https://www.hilscher.com/fileadmin/cms_upload/en-US/Resources/pdf/PROFIBUS_Booklet.pdf

https://www.hilscher.com/products/product-groups/pc-cards/pci/cif-50-pb/

• S7 CPU as a slave to the CIF-50-PB:

Profibus Communication CPU 315F-2DP as a slave and Hilscher card

• Hilscher CIF as slave to a S7 CPU:

Communication with PC Profibus Card Other Than Siemens CP Card ..

• Profibus-DP for S7-1500 with TIA Portal v13:

]PROFIBUS with STEP 7 V13 - Siemens Support

Note that the CIF-50-PB is a PC card, it has by itself no PLC capability; so the data areas that you will want to exchange with the S7-1500 will depend on the way you have  configured either the Soft-PLC or OPC files provided with the CIF-50.

Hope this helps,
