Siemens S7 200 programming interface

[Willy Maas]

Hi all,

I'm desperate, confused, and it's late at night.

I forgot how to go online to a S7-200 with my Siemens field PG.

Which protocol do i select, and can i use the same cable i use to go online to a S7-300, that is, the MPI cable.. and do i plug it in the MPI port of my field PG.

I know this is a dumb question, so feel free to give me a dumb answer, it's just that i normally use S7-300. It's now 3 o'clock in the morning in Holland and i need to install an application in a couple of hours time.

Thanks,

Willy Maas

Before all else, you must select proper communication adjust.To do this,you must go to project tree in the microwin.

You can not use the MPI cable that is RS485 for S7-200 , you must use PC/PPI cable.

I disagree. I use my MPI S7300 lead for talking to S7200's. I also use the PPI lead and just toggle the drivers in the PG/PC interface. Works for me.....:nodi:

It was a long time ago, but i think i had to flash the firmware on the MPI lead??

Hope this helps!

my teeth heart from eating s7-200 plc's!

Use ppi for first download on a new s7-200 plc, then continue with mpi (or ppi).

for ppi communication use the following settings:
interface: pc/ppi cable (com1 or com2)
protocol: ppi
mode: 11-bit
baud rate: 19.2 kbps (for older plc's 9.6)
pg address: 0
plc address: 2

for mpi communication use the following settings:
interface: cp5611
protocol: mpi
mode: 11-bit
baud rate: 19.2 kbps
pg address: 0
plc address: 2
pg/pc the only master
