Hello everyone,
I have a strange problem that I hope someone could help me with.
This is what I have done:
I have 2x Windows XP VMWAREs (identical fresh installs)
1st one I have Step 5 v6.6 installed
2nd one I have Step 5 v7.23 HF1 installed
To these both I use my USB-RS232 adapter and PC-S5-CONVERTER cable (siemens official)
The VMWARE Step 5 v6.6 works like a charm and I can go online any day of the week with the default settings. But on the identical VMWARE where I installed 7.23 just gives me the usual "PLC Timeout".
Settings are identical, and same usb adapter drivers.
The only thing that differs is perhapps the way step 5 v6.6 & v7.23 installs into windows...
I have seen many many posts stating that you cant use a usb-rs232 adapter + official PG cable, but it works perfect in v6.6 so why not in 7.23 ;(
any ideas?
