Thank you for your help, but I have a different connection, not via USB. My link is between ethernet port (PC) to serial port (SI1, PLC-S5) via S5-PCLink Software-Converter. The software creates a virtual serial port so that you can select this port in "parameter setting" of the STEP 5 software. The converter is put on SI1 (it has an ethernet ip address), so that you can access to PLC likes ethernet link. My problem occurs downloading big PBs. In this case appears "time out". The solution was not only modifying the Baud in "S5@@@@AS.INI", but was necessary increase "Block_Time" parameter. Well, now we do not have any more problems, but I would like to know what does each parameter means?, or what do modifications Siemens recommend ? to avoid problems like these. Best regards. Pedro |
