G120C USB cable

U_3668a0cc-d1f7-4... Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	Hi If anyone could explain to me. I am trying to connect to the G120C VSD through the mini USB connection on the VSD using Starter software. As soon as I go online with the VSD, the Starter software tells me the module went Offline. I am using a normal USB 2.0 to mini USB cable that is also used on the USB2.0 hard drive. Does G120C VSD require a special USB cable that is supplied by Siemens?

The following FAQs provide more information : STARTER: Why does the USB connection with SINAMICS G120 not take place? SINAMICS G120/G120D/G120P (CU 2x0x) and G120C: How can I go online with an existing STARTER project, via USB interface? If still you face a problem, try to use another cable / another PC Hope this helps Cheers Navnag

Other reason can be a lowPower USB Port or USB 3.0 Port. regards Christoph
