Hi, I have borrowed a PC adapter with the USB interface.
However, I cannot seem to get it to work.
I can access the PLC from another PC with a CP5511 card.
I have installed the latest driver (v1.2), and Control Panel reports that "This device is working properly.".
There is constant green light in both MPI, POWER and USB lamps on the adapter.
I have tried to plug it into various USB ports on the PC.
There is not much to set in the Set PG/PC interface.
I have chosen:
S7ONLINE = PC adapter (MPI)
Local connection = USB
The MPI settings are the same that worked with the CP5511.
It is annoying that there is no test or diagnostics with the PC/USB adapter. I cannot think of any other things that I can check.
I have a PC with Win XP Pro SP1a.
All I get is: "Online: No other active partner can be found".
Any ideas ?
