Hi all:
I am very ashamed to ask this. My laptop does not have com ports. None. I think that comunicating with simatic s7 plcs can be achieved with the LAN ethernet card but i saw the cable and it was very expensive. So, i wonder if there is some way to comunicate with some sort of adapter via the mpi cable using the lpt port or a pc card or something that is not as expensive as the ethernet solution. Out of that the Dell seems fine. This does not look good.
Any advice will be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance
I know I know, not clever of my part.
