Hello All,
I have a machine with a Siemens S5-100U, CPU 103 that I could really use some help with. I have no experience with Siemens products, but do have experience with AB, Koyo, Modicon, and GE. (so I'm not a complete noob ;-)
I found out that I needed Step 5 software to communicate with this unit, which I have w/ proper authorization. I have installed it on a Win 95 box. The Step 5 software is ver. 7.0. I also have a Siemens RS232/TTY converter cable Part # 6ES5 734-1BD20. It has a 25 pin Dsub connector on the PC end.
Here is my problem: I can connect the cable between PC and S5, Start the PC, open the Step 5 software fine, but can not establish a com link between the two. Are there any other drivers required to communicate with this PLC? If so, is this something that I can download somewhere? Thanks in advance for any assistance>
Regards, Paul
