J_Bell Posts: 5822 Rating: (412)	Hello imran, actually the question from my side is what you want to do? Just to see what I mean. If you just want to program over MPI you could easily use all three devices. But, as far as I know, the USB MPI Adaptor is the cheapest. If you want to do programming over MPI and PROFIBUS and you maywant to do some Communication over a OPC Server once in a while than you can use the CP 5512. If you want to do constant HMI Communication and you want to do programming once in a while over PROFIBUS or MPI than you should use the CP 5613. Maybe this will help you to decide. Best regards J_Bell

The USB/MPI-Adapter supports PROFIBUS and MPI up to 1,5 MBit The CP5512 supports PROFIBUS and MPI up to 12 MBit Standard speed for MPI is 187kBit. About 2 years ago I found out the USB-MPI-Adapter didn't work with SIMATIC NET. I don't know how it's today. It worked fine with Protool/Pro and Step7. For Standard users the USB-MPI-Adapter is the first choice. One note: the adapter must be connected to the CPU with a short (ca 20-30 cm) cable (comes with the adapter) . The USB cable (comes with the adapter too) is about 1,5 to 2m long.
