Hello

for the s7-200 Series you need a special ppi cable, it looks nearly the same like a mpi cable.
But the difference is the transfer protokoll thats used.

You find the order number on this link (dlink)

http://support.automation.siemens.com/W ... ion=csopen

an alternate solution is the MPI USB II from processinformatic, this on knows also to handle the PPI protocol. 2nd solution is a CP5512 PCMCIA for notebooks or a CP5611 PCI Card, both CPcards from SIEMENS

Good luck

Yes, you can connect your PC/PG to your S7-200 through the MPI (USB Adapter) cable.
You just have to change the properties of the PPI Interface.

Step7/MicroWIN -> PC Adapter(PPI)

Hi,


New here - didn't wanted to open new topic about cables, so..


I am about to setup some plc learning environment from some "old" plc's S7-200 S7-300..


First obstacle was communication cable..

I noticed that guys uses mostly 6ES7901-3DB30-0XA0 Cable interface.

Image






then there is: 6ES7 901-3DB30-0XA0

Image






And there are some various aliexpress options...

Image



Best suitable for my needs would be ?


(I am later hoping to use Autem SPS-ANALYZER pro 5 - which I guess needs PPI/MPI/DP Multimaster Cable / 6ES7901-3DB30-0XA0)

China clone version for starters.

Any inputs or suggestions would be great


Kind regards



Haltec
