mr_electrician Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 hello, can someone tell me what the pin out is for a communication cable that will connect from my laptop to the plc using a 232 cable. Thanks Quote
Crossbow Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 PLC is RS485. You need to buy the cable from Siemens. They also do offer a USB version of that cable. I don't have the part numbers with me, but I can post them tonight. Quote
mr_electrician Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks, I do have an adaptor card and hardware adaptor for CP5512. My problem now is everyime I try to connect, I get a message that the port is being used by something else. I can not figure this out. I have the communications set on 5512MPI. Any ideas? Quote
Crossbow Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 S7-200 is not MPI, it's PPI. MPPI is for the S7-300 and S7-400. S7-200 takes a different adapter than the big guys. Quote
mr_electrician Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Posted November 14, 2007 I figured it out and as I was going to post my fix, you verified what I discovered. Thanks for your help!! Quote
