Ok first off I have protool 6.0 with service pack 3, I also have OP27 screen, and I have cable part number6XV1440-2KH32. Is the cable the correct cable for communication between OP27 and a PC running ProTool? Do you have a detailed drawing of the above numbered cable? Here is what I have, I rung out each wire and it seems to match up with some of the details I found. 15 pin 9 pin 3 ---- 3 4 ---- 2 5 ---- 8 10 ----- 7 15 ----- 5 No other pins on either side seem to be connected to any others. There is no box or anything on the line either, it is just a straight cable with 9 pin female on one end and 15 pin male on the other. When I go into protool it allows me to select which com port. I have set up a dummy port just to see what would happen. As soon as I redirect the software to this dummy port it immediately pops up with the communication error. If I direct the software to the proper port a small animation pops up where it says attempting to connect and you see a cable plug and unplug from a sceen and laptop 3 times then it comes up with the error message about not being able to connect the devices. And to check the settings the cables etc.. Now I have not worked much with Siemens products. I was only given the task to make sure all of our software and backups are up to date. Appently this has not been done in over 5 years. So now I am in the process of learning as much as I can as quickly as I can so I can get this tast accomplished. So please any and all help greatly appreciated.

Hello mrtweaver, Have a look at this link: What connecting cables are there for connections between the operator panels and the different controllers? See point 2-2 for the pins of 6XV1 440-2KH32 The panel should be in transfer mode!! Here is a link to manual: OP27, OP37 Operator Panels Please have a look at chapter 14.2 "recommissioning" Power up the panel and use the key combination "ESC" and "button up" Also have a look at the following link: how to Backup and restore a program on a text or graphic-based panel?
