siemens s5 and op

[Donnchadh]

Hi

I came across a dongle " for the want of a better word" a while back that would let me go online to a Siemens S5 plc while also leaving the OP hmi plugged in also.
Its just I cant recall waht it was called or what site I saw it on. Any help would be great thanks.
