Is there a way to download the entire manual in pdf format?

Split from HOW TO CONNECT 1M PIN WITH OTHER DIGITAL INPUTS.

If you use either the Industry Mall and search by part #, or use the TIA Selection Tool (online version is probably best for most people), you can configure a documentation package for download to support selected hardware for a given project.

You can even export the hardware and import it directly into TIA Portal to populate the hardware quickly from the selection tool.

Thank you very much! I've been looking for this. Is there a way to download the entire manual in pdf format? I keep a library in my company's server, other manufacturers usually provide an easy to find/download pdf in the product's page, so I imagine Siemens might have something of sorts, right?

I see, I will take it as a "No, it won't be easy to find and download the manual as pdf".

Anyway, thank you. I'll try to find a way to download it and convert to pdf.

I see that the web version is cool, but it's not very easy to find. It's not only Siemens that make it hard to find data though, that's the main reason we have our own library.

EDIT: I found a link to download full manual as PDF (going through some DuckDuckGo hoops):

Some people can be taught to fish.  Others find ways to toss dynamite into the water and think they are fishing.

I apologize I didn't meant to be rude with you and/or your work and recognize it was indeed rude after reading it again.

I really appreciate your answer, specially considering you've put effort and time to help others even when it's not your job to do so.

I tried to use their tool and it didn't cut for me, googling (or in this case duckduckgoing) was simply more effective.

Anyhow, I hope the both the link and your explanation can help more people in the future.

Depending on how far along you are in a project, the selection tool may be duplicated work to get access to manuals.

However, if you are simply looking for a manual and have a Siemens part #, I usually copy / paste the part # into a search bar, then constrain the search box to only search the Siemens domain with "Site:Siemens.com" added to the search field.

After that, find the "Industry Mall" link for the specific part.  Manuals are usually available from that link, at least for the items I typically use in projects.  Otherwise, it links to a different support sub-domain of Siemens.com where documentation can be obtained and/or requested.

However, pointing people there first does them a disservice as they can get a better set of manuals retrieved automatically after knowing they have chosen (selected) a complete and compatible set of components, with the added advantage of the selection process being exportable / importable into TIA Portal.
