You can find the manual here (it is also on your Com Profinbus install CD). I hope this helps

If the information from fritz do not help, you just have a chance to use Windows 98 (!) orread the flashcard with an original SIMATIC - PG or SIMATIC Cardreader. The best solution would be, if you have the data file for your IM308C. Goog Luck!

Or in other Words: You need to use Windows 2000 if you want to use COM PB with CP5512 for IM308C onlinefunctionality. More info on compatibilty of COM PB and CP5512 can be found here: Compatibility of COM PROFIBUS versions with Windows operating systems Applicable PROFIBUS CPs for the application ONLINE-Functions in COM PROFIBUS And one more thing: I once managed to seriously corrupt the PG/PC interface functionality by foolishly installing COM Profibus on a partition that had Step7 on it too (something to look out for, I recommend to NOT have Step7 and COM PB installed together).

I have seen it working though once and it is officially supported by Siemens, it's a shame that the USB prommer can't be used for this either. IBN-Service Therefore, I use an old PG720P with Win98 if I have to do so. So do I (we actually maintaina PG740 and PIII Field PG just for this purpose) IBN-Service Best regards to downunder! Thanks Juergen, best wishes back to you in good old Germany too (and enjoy whatever is left of the Summer) Hello hefeng_05 don't let the above distract you, Win2000 (or ideally a Siemens PG) is the way the way to go and will (should/is supported) work.
