[?]: PPI & MPI cable

[tushar_matrix]

Hello all masters,
I have a small question for s7 200 /300 cable.
I have MPI cable for PLC 300 series. Now i have ato work on s7-224 PLC ,
Can i use the same MPI cbale for s7-200 series PLC's or it needs diffrenet cale (PPI),
What is diffrence between these PPI & MPI cables?

Hello

for the s7-200 Series you need a special ppi cable, it looks nearly the same like a mpi cable.
But the difference is the transfer protokoll thats used.

You find the order number on this link

an alternate solution is the MPI USB II from processinformatic, this on knows also to handle the PPI protocol. 2nd solution is a CP5512 PCMCIA for notebooks or a CP5611 PCI Card, both CPcards from SIEMENS

Good luck

Yes, you can connect your PC/PG to your S7-200 through the MPI (USB Adapter) cable.
You just have to change the properties of the PPI Interface.

Step7/MicroWIN -> PC Adapter(PPI)

it possible only if your adapter support ppi! it not for all adapters!

Hi,


New here - didn't wanted to open new topic about cables, so..


I am about to setup some plc learning environment from some "old" plc's S7-200 S7-300..


First obstacle was communication cable..

I noticed that guys uses mostly 6ES7901-3DB30-0XA0 Cable interface.








then there is: 6ES7 901-3DB30-0XA0








And there are some various aliexpress options...





Best suitable for my needs would be ?


(I am later hoping to use Autem SPS-ANALYZER pro 5 - which I guess needs PPI/MPI/DP Multimaster Cable / 6ES7901-3DB30-0XA0)

China clone version for starters.

Any inputs or suggestions would be great


Kind regards
