[quote user="imran"]RecentlyI have purchased a usb/mpi adapter. I already have Simatic Manager V5.1 with service pack 1. NowI am unable to install usb/mpi adapter. Is this because of simatic manager version or any thing else. I have windows XP professional on my laptop.

Hi Imran,

First off all please update your STEP7 with SP6 Service Pack 6 for STEP 7 V5.1then you have that version up-to-date!

On the internet PC Adapter USB Now Available is also the contents of the delivery and the Windows versions where itmust be tested with, Windows XP Professional is there also between.

If it is not version V1.2 then please install the new firmware of the USB/MPI adapter first Driver and Firmware for PC Adapter USB 1.2 also in this update is the newest handbook of the USB/MPI adapter.

So what i should do:

1. update STEP7;

2. install CD or download for V1.2 (do not connect the USB/MPI Adapter yet);

3. connect the USB/MPI adapter and go to the PG/PC-interface to see if the USB/MPI adapter is installed and make the right connection

Good luck

One of the following operating systems must be installed on the PC in order to be

able to operate the SIMATIC PC Adapter USB:

• Windows 2000

• Windows XP Professional

• Windows XP Home

and

• a SIMATIC software package that communicates via MPI (for example, STEP 7)

To operate the PC Adapter USB on a PPI network, you also need the STEP 7-

Micro/Win32 SW package.


So i think it is something else what blocks the USB/MPI interface.... [:cry:]

Can you describe what happens when you try to install the USB/MPI interface... [:P]
