We have two PC adaptors, 1 serial, 1 usb and one S7-300 PLC with one MPI port, (and 1 busted profibus port) We want to connect both PC adaptos i.e two PC one running Step 7 and the other running Kepserver for IO simulation and testing purposes. So we need to make a y connector with one male 9-Way Dtype to fit PLC MPI port and then to two female 9_Way Dtype to connect the two PC adaptors. Can someone let me know which pins we need to connect up to get MPI communications and both PC adaptors powered from the PLC MPI port. I've found the following pinouts. Apart from 3,8 what else do I need. Thanks
