Problem in selection of Siemens USB/PPI cable for S7-200

AB2005 · Jul 14, 2012

We have Siemens S7-200 PLCs in different machine. To get access to their program, I have arranged a USB/PPI Multi Master communication cable but facing a problem that during communication set up, there is no option (see attached pictures) to select that cable. If I select PC/PPI cable, communication error appears. Please assist.

Have you installed the cable drivers?
Re-install microwin and/or download sp9 from siemens web site.

What is the error when you select it? in your first pic does it give you a error then (when you try to install it) or just will not communicate

Are you using v3.2 SP2 as that doesn't support USB PPI cable maybe later SP does, I use the latest v4 SP9. I've just started to use Siemens so maybe someone more familiar could be of assistance
