Hi
I am stuck with a new Laptop which does not have a COM1 serial (9-pin DB9 connector port). I have bought a USB/Serial converter, properly installed the drivers and tried to communicate with a Siemens S7-315 PLC... unsuccessfully.
I am desperate wondering If I am going to have to change my laptop for an older one... that does have the COM1 serial port instead of a plethora of USB.
USB converter device is properly installed, and serial comm. settings match the PC/MPI interface settings. Nevertheless my laptop freezes when I try to connect with any available node serially connected.
Can Anyone give me some advice, had the same kind of problem?, does anyone knows if Siemens sells USB cables to connect their PLCs?
Thank you so much !
Appreciate any help.
