Hi,
I'll give you the basics of what I'm trying to achieve first and then I'll give you the question...
I need to connect a Touchscreen PC to several S7 PLC's. I have bought a Perle USB-serial 8 port adaptor that gives me 8 'virtual' serial ports from 1 USB port. The adaptor has 8 d-type 9 pin male connectors on the front. I need to connect my S7 PLC's MPI port into those.
Firstly will this work (ie. anyone done anything similar to this themselves)? Secondly, do I just need a standard RS232 lead female to male? If so does anyone know what the pin-out for such a lead is?
Many thanks as always
JT
