Split from PC Adapter USB A2 6GK 1571-0BA00-0AA0 Drivers problem - XP SP3.

Hello Gabar,

pls for first look at swilly's post (2 post up) and check via his Picture if you have same settings (simply set PC Adapter Profibus profile). I don't recommend to you install any drivers, they are installed with MicroWin. Give info.

Hi,

i think the problem from gabbar is that the Adapter is not detected, so the dialog and settings can't be checked.

@ Gabbar:

Can you post the Order number of the adapter (if possible attach a photo of the adapter).
Is this a original SIEMENS Adapter or a adapter from eBay?

If you plug the  USB Cable of the adapter to you PC USB port is any
notification pop up "found new device"?
Have you check the Windows Device Manager for new devices?

Do you work with a Administrator account on the system?  An no system policy is active which disable the USB Ports?

Regards
Christoph

you may be right....

but my question is What could be reason if i am not getting any LED indication on PC ADAPTER USB A2?

gabbar

OTHER PIC ARE ZIP,

1) IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AUTHORIZED SIEMENS DEALER NOT FROM ebay.

2) ALL USB PORTS ARE INTACT CROSS CHECKED WITH OTHER LAPTOP AND PCs

3) ON CONNECTING WITH PC IT DOES NOT GIVE ANY KIND OF POP UP THAT IS USB DETECTED OR SO AND SO...

Hello,

simply what's that unrecognised device - Base System device in Device Manager? If you connect that adapter to USB, there must be some LED indication about Electric connection. If not, probably adapter fault. Test on another PC if it's possible. Simply there must be some device in manager like Siemens PC Adapter or look at device manager in that time of connection adapter to USB to look at some activity.

@Duris_I

I HAVE CHECKED BY PLUG AND UNPLUGING CABLE ON SIMATIC NET HARDWARE CHANGES IN DEVICE MANAGER, BUT SCAN FOR HARWARE CHANGES DOES NOT SCAN ANY ADAPTER OF PC USB A2.....

PLEASE CONFIRM PC ADAPTER USB A2 IS FAULTY...

gabbar

Gabar pls, if I ask you to give me some infos, pls answer. You have one unidentified device on Device Manager so pls look at that and give info. If you can check that situation with plug/unplug pls look at all devices, not only Simatic NET, there you probably will don't have that device. Really hard communication with you my friend...

Update: do you hear some sound of plug/unplug USB device?
