Hi, You should update your Step5, because v7.17 isn't compatible with Windows XP: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/6002243 The following link may explain the error: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/18548070 Another problem is the USB-serial convertor. Here is a link to a company who offers a USB-S5 cable: http://www.cdelektronik.de/products/S5_PG-USB/s5_pg-usb.html |

Hi Sun, I had the same problem you did at first. I found that KEYSPAN makes a usb to serial adaptor that works on all seimens products. The model # is USA-19HS and their web site is www.keyspan.com.. You have the flexablity to change the port number as with some op panels, you can only use com 1 or 2 to connect. As far as not working on everything, I have found that leaving your PG-PC interface to auto doesn't always work. I have had to go in and setPG-PC to Profi or MPI and settingthe baud rate to the com specs. to talk to certian devices. Hope that helps. Metal Rules ! MH |
