Hello z00m,
Well, you can use the Getting Started project to do the commissioning. You have full access to the Siwarex FTA module from the PLC.
But it is easier to work with the Siwatool software.
On the internet: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/products?dtp=Manual&pnid=17801&lc=en-WW you can find the manual of the Siwarex FTA module (“SIWAREX FTA - Weighing Electronics for Automatic Scale”). Into the chapter 4.5.14 (= pdf-page 47) you can find the Siwatool-cable. You can create it by yourself, if you want.
Best regards

Hello z00m,
Well, not all USB-to-serial(DB9) converter are working with the Siwarex FTA.
You have to try your USB-to-serial(DB9) with your Siwarex FTA.
You have nothing to attend regarding like baud rate, data bits, parity, etc., because the Siwatool software set these parameter automatically by establishing the connection.
You only have to attend to set the correct COM-Port into the Siwatool-software under “Communication” -> “Set interface”.
If you have problems with your USB-to-serial(DB9) converter, you can also use this converter: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/28391503

Hello z00m,
It seems that the cable is wrong. You can’t use the Siwarex M connecting cable (7MH4702-8CH).
Please use the Siwatool cable 7MH4702-8CA OR create the cable by yourself (See also the attached file from the manual of the Siwarex FTA).
Best regards
