Yes. You can use the RS232 PC-PPi programming cable 6ES7 901-3CB30-0XA0 Could it be possibel to use Visual Basic 6.0 to make a GUI for the project? Download the PC-Access Demo here: https://www.automation.siemens.com/_en/s7-200/support/tools_downloads/pcaccess.html This is a 60 day license wihtout limitation. I do not know if VB V6.0 is supported. Could you give me a sample program using Visual Basic 6.0 communicating with the PLC? See the examples comming with PC-Access. I hope this helps |
