PC Adapter USB A2 with S7-300 PLC

If usb devices are plugged in before the drivers are available, windows often starts to install anyway. After that the right drivers are no longer used (when installed). Therefore I suggest to deinstall devices which are listed, but have no drivers. Install the driver (or check) and than reinsert the usb device. Sometimes it helps to use different usb port. This helps if windows reinstalls the driver for that usb port or if the port itself has different usb specs (usb 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or higher) Also check on notebooks whether the usb port does have the needed power. Sometimes usb ports do not deliver the 500mA.

Hope this helps.
