1 Product Definition

The adapter is available as:

S PC adapter 6ES7 972-0CA2x-0XA0

or

S TS adapter 6ES7 972-0CA3x-0XA0

Note

Where ’adapter’ is referred to below, the text applies to both
variants.

The PC adapter connects a PC to the MPI/DP interface
(Multipoint Interface) via the serial COM port of an S7/M7/C7
system.

This does not require a PC slot, that is, the adapter is also
suitable for use in non-expandable PCs such as notebooks.

PC/TS Adapter Quick Reference Guide

With ’direct connection’, the TS adapter allows you to link
programming devices/PCs with S7/M7/C7 systems. With this
setup, the TS adapter corresponds in functionality to the PC
adapter.

With ’modem connection’, the TS adapter enables you to link
programming devices/PCs with S7/M7/C7 systems over the
telephone network.

The TeleService optional package is always required to

operate the TS adapter (see 5.2 Software). The switch on the
adapter is used to change the transmission rate on the
RS232 side in direct connection. With modem connection, it
has no function.

The two adapter types differ with respect to the location of the
MPI/DP parameters:

S The MPI/DP parameters for the PC adapter are set in

“Set PG/PC interface”. When opening an online display
for the first time, ther parameters are transferred to the PC
adapter.

S The MPI/DP parameters for the TS adapter are set via a

Teleservice application and stored permanently on the TS
adapter. When opening an online display for the first time,
these parameters are activated.

S RS232 cable, 6 meters in length 6ES7 901-1BF00-0XA0

(required to operate the PC adapter and to operate the
TS adapter in direct connection only).

4 MPI/DP Network

A maximum of 32 nodes can be interfaced to an MPI/DP
network segment. The total cable length may not exceed 50
meters. Using so-called RS485 repeaters, several network
segments can be combined to form a network comprising a
maximum of 127 nodes.
The data signalling rate in an MPI/DP network is max. 12
Mbit/s.

Der Adapter unterstützt Übertragungsraten bis max.
1,5 Mbit/ s.

Note

Also refer to “S7-300, Hardware and Installation”.

Warning

If the transmission rate is 187.5 Kbits/sec and
higher, it i s n o t allowed to insert cable extensions
in the S7/M7/C7 adapter system connection
(spur lines not allowed).
