Gonzu Posts: 35 Rating: (0)	Hi!! I have some problems with MicroWin and the PC Adapter. First, I have a USB-PPI PC Adapter, with a W7 Sp1 OS in my pc. When I connect the the adapter to the usb port, Windows tries to found the controller, without success. So, in the devices administrator Bus-SM controller appears with "?". In the other side, when in the MicroWin I try to connect with Pg/Pc interface, it appears an error: "Cannot start file 'S7EPATDEnglish.DLL'". After "Accept" the error, the PG/PC window is opened, but the option to choose my adapter, doesnt appears. I don't know if it is the same problem. Any ideas?? Thank you mvery much.

Luna_me Posts: 2 Rating: (0)	I have tried first from USB to Serial converter($8) , then serial 9 pin to RS485($15) converter. I thought the cable is standard. I down loaded the driver from this web page. but after connected, I got communication errors. Microwin/driver does not like the cables. I'm an amateur. I don't want to spend too much money on the cable for an old model CPU214-1BC01. Anyone can give me an help idea ? What makes Siemens cable special ?

gdglisch82 Posts: 56 Rating: (1)	I have had this issue as well, but after I close the message can still communicate. I have the USB A2 adapter. I have no issues using this adapter nor do I get this message with any other piece of software. Anybody know why this message pops up? Thanks.

Josh Elliott Posts: 204 Rating: (29)	Hi, If You're using USB A2 Adapter,to communicate with s7-200 system,you need to select the USB A2 Profibus in PG/PC settings.In Properties,select DP with a baud rate 9.6kbps and PG is only master on the Network. If you failed try with other baud rates like 19.2,187.6kbps or select Universal ,try again with different baud rates.you should succeed.

Is necessary call file on path: ("%CommonProgramFiles%\\Siemens\\Automation\\Simatic OAM\\bin\\s7epaImp64x.exe") manually from cmd (command prompt) as administrator. (Windows Start\ All Programs\ Accessories\ Command prompt -> Right mouse button\ Run as Admin) so: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Siemens\Automation\Simatic OAM\bin\s7epaImp64x.exe -up Palo Helpful? Rate it. :-) Thanks Attachment cmd.png (1199 Downloads)
