I have changed the setting Project>Transfer>Transfer Settings to Serial (via USB-PPI cable). The project I'm trying to download is a demo project for TP177 micro downloaded from Siemens web site. When I click Transfer button in WinCC flexible the final message I get in the output screen is"A connection could not be established. Please check your settings, ports, cable etc.." and both the Rx and Tx LEDs on the USB/PPI interface flash simultaneously for a moment and that's all. TP177micro is in Transfer mode (Serial channel is enabled), a window "Connecting to host." is displayed. The Interface cable is checked with S7-200 and is OK. The USB port is OK. How do I make the connection between the PC and the HMI TP177 micro? Is it possible at all to use this cable in this task. I have checked the FAQ but couldnt find solution. The Cable is E-Stand 02, and I saw in a FAQ that the communication probably should be done in E-Stnad 05 or later.

So that must work... As you mentioned you need a version 5 cable , I have tryed to find information about the difference in the versions but that was not mentioned on the page by Siemens.
	I hope that the answer will help, if you have still questions, don't hesitate to ask me. All the best, Late Never say never, think in solutions, not in trouble......

And as far as I understand from the FAQS and threads in the forum a connection to the TP177 Micro via USB/PPI Multi-Master Cable (6ES7901-3DB30-0XA0) can ONLY be made if the cable has E-Stand:05 or higher.
