I'm attempting to use a Simatic Field PG (6es7715-1dd20-0ce3) to connect to an S5-100U CPU .
I've tried using the step5 software in DOSBox but I was getting communication errors (something about the frame being the wrong size), I've now installed Windows 98 as a virtual machine, but now I'm just getting 'PLC Timeout' whenever I try and bring the PLC online.
My COM1 settings are:
19200bps
8 data bits
Parity: None
1 stop bit
No flow control
Any ideas on how I can get this to communicate?
