Device configuration
In the case of PROFIBUS, the structure of the hardware is mirrored in the TIA device
configuration as follows:
Slot number
The configuration rules are as follows:
CIM
The CIM module includes the PROFIBUS-connection and is permanently present in slot 1.
PM
The CIM I/O module is present in slot 2. If no I/O module PM is used, an empty space must
be configured here.

A maximum of 24 POMs can be operated on one CIM.

The device configuration in the project engineering must match the actual configuration of
the HCS.
Otherwise the system cannot start up.
