hi all

i have s5 licened software installed in a latest laptop with window xp operating system. this laptop does not have a serial port.how to communicate with s5 compatiable plc.
 
I don't think you can go online with S5 CPU without real serial port. You can try USB to SERIAL convertor.

Basic requirement is that you should have TTY converter for S5 PLC.

Best Luck
 
If you go on the Siemens website you'll be able to get the updates for S5 to bring it up to the 7.23 version. This version should run in 'windows' mode.

Then you should be fine.

(Even in dos, do your USB ports not work??)
