Hello all,
I have just acquired an old Siemens PG720 programmer with "Step5" installed, it's fully functional except that the COM/TTY to 15PIN-IF connection cable (6ES5734-2BD20) is missing, I have several PC/RS232 to AG/TTY 15PIN cables (6ES5734-1BD20) which are used on "PC" programmers, can I use one of these for "Step5" programming with the PG720 or can I convert it to operate the same way, I.E. by changing the wires internally or with a "breakout" box.
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated,
RUSKIE
