I am currently working with an S7-300 PLC (Model Number 6ES314-6CG03-0AB0 ), which I understand is nearing obsolescence. Could someone please explain in detail which software is required for programming this PLC, and what type of cable I should purchase to connect it to my laptop? I would greatly appreciate it if you could also include links to relevant online resources or purchase options in your response.

 That PLC has been phased out a long long time ago. The easyest solution to connect to it is a PC Adapter USB A2. Since it's that old, Simatic Manager is a good choise to program it.
