Hello Brunoali; You will find a great deal of information on the CP 5711 in the following webpage: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ca/en/view/34780027 The picture shown below shows that the CP 5711 can use a Profibus cable to connect to the PLC programming port; it uses a USB cable to talk with the Step 7 PC. If you look down to the different purchase offers for the CP, you will see that one offer includes an MPI cable with the CP 5711. Basically you need an RS 485 cable to connect the CP 5711 to the PLC. Profibus cable (and connectors) and MPI cable are robust industrial-design recommended alternatives. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
