Hello JLopez; The C7-621 only has a MPI programming interface. It also requires Step 7 Lite (or Step 7-mini) to program it, with Protool/Lite to configure the LCD screen messages.. And these software versions are now obsolete and removed from Siemens offerings. See the contents of this Getting started manual: SIMATIC C7-621 Control System First steps with STEP 7-Mini and ProTool/Lite https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/6968371 See also the information from the C7-621 Starter Package document (now obsolete): https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/4333068 Mr_Tech is right, these days you would need a CP supporting MPI to connect your programming PC to the C7-621 interface. The CP 5711 with optional MPI cable (6GK1 571-1AM00) would have been your best bet and the least expensive you can buy from Siemens now. You might also look for older versions of this type of cable, on Amazon or E-Bay, such as the PC-Adapter MPI, or the USB-PC Adapter, just make sure of the supported versions of Windows they will run under. But since the progrmming packages are no longer available I am afraid your task has been made much more difficult, Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
