4 Installation

4.1 Hardware

The S7/MPI-USB is plugged directly into the PLC. Via the USB cable of the module can be connected to the
PLC as follows:

Normal installation (for programming)

The MPI cable will be connected to the S7 PLC via the 9 pin connector (short side of the cable). The USB
connector on the long side of the cable will be connected with the computer.

S7/MPI-USB as HMI (Human Machine Interface) – adapter

The HMI – function provides the possibility to connect a operator panel (which has instead of a MPI
interface a USB device and understands the HMI protocol) with a S7 PLC (300/400). Connect the cable
between the terminal and the PLC. The HMI – protocol must be part of the operator panel.

There must be a serial communication with the operator panel if this op is new/used at the first time.
Therefore connect your operator panel with the serial COM interface of your computer. After the
communication has been running successfully the panel is ready to be connected to the PLC.

6.2.10 Direct setting of a slave address to a passive
Profibus-Slave

With the S7-LAN-module or MPI-LAN-cable and Step7-direct-driver V1.21 (or later) and the MPI-II-cable
(only with USB) or S7-USB and Step7-direct-driver V1.22 (or later) is it possible to give a directly connected
Profibus-Slave a bus-address.
Important here is that the subscriber is connected directly to the S7-interface and the external supply of
24V DC is also connected. In the Step7-direct-driver must then in the properties set that “PD/PC is only
master”. There is no another note in this case, you will use this function as if you are connected with your
PD to the module.

und after that the following dialog is displayed:

There are the following configuration possible, they will be transferred to the MPI-Cable by pressing the
button „Transfer“. The configuration is saved permanently in the Flash-ROM:

S7-USB user manual 73 / 85 2019/10/05 05:07

Söllnerstr. 9 92637 Weiden [e-mail] [phone]

Time to send:

At ProTool RT the communication could break down, because the MPI-Cable is transferring the answer­protocol to fast. In this property you could insert a time in 0.1ms ticks. Insert at first 300, to great values
are preventing the communication.

HMI-Cable-Version:

Some Touch-panels have the problem, that when they get a wrong version-information they never retry to
connect (and then the correct version is transferred). In this case the HMI-version-information could be
transferred immediately.

A20-Terminal:

When using the A20 or M20-Terminal, the control-lines on the serial port are not used. In that case the
tele-service-function is not working. With this property the control-lines are no longer used and therefore
the A20/M20 can communicate over tele-service.

Bootconfiguration:

Normally the MPI-Cable automatically selects the correct bus-type, no changes are needed. In special­cases the MPI-Bus could be selected as PPI.

For example: This application and the PLC are powered on at the same time. The application is
communicating immediately with the cable, the PLC is booting, in this case the MPI-Bus is not driven. The
MPI-Bus is erroneous, so no communication is starting.
If this occurs you could choose, that the cable is working as MPI-Adapter only..

Language:

You could select the language which is used from the cable (German or English).

9.4 Configuration

1. Start the PLC – VCom application, if this is not already running.

2. Open the PLC-VCOM by clicking on the icon PLC-VCOM in the system tray.

3. After the PLC-VCOM is open, click in the status area on the “Configure” and the wizard to configure is
launched.

9.4.1 S7-USB

9.4.1.1 Automatically

1. With a click on “Search” you send a broadcast to all cables and modules that are located on your
network or directly connected to the computer. Each reacting cable / module to this broadcast is entered
in the list of participants.

2. Select the desired cable / module so that it is highlighted in blue.
Here, all parameters are automatically included in the configuration wizard.

9.4.1.2 Manually

The manual entry relates to the network users that are behind routers in other networks because the
broadcast for the automatic detection is not passed from routers and these network devices thus can not
be found. This point is not to be observed for USB devices, because these are all connected directly to the
computer.

9.4.1.3 Final settings

3. Select the options that you may need, eg RFC1006,
no network card selection, installation in the device manager or serial breaks.

Information about the options which can be selected and deselected with the help of checkboxes, can be
found in section “Overview” of the PLC VCOMs.

4. Confirm your entry / selection with “OK”.

5. After a successful connection, in the main window of the PLC VCOMs appears the cable type with which
the computer connects and the connection status is “connected”.

6. Finally click “Minimize” to decrease the PLC-VCOM in the notification area, so that this can continue to
manage the virtual COM port.

10.1 Pinning Mini-USB-jack

Pin No. Short name Notation Direction

1 Vcc Power supply (DC) Input
2 D – Dataline – Bi-directional
3 D + Dateline + Bi-directional
4 ID Not connected Not connected
5 GND Signalground Input

Attention:

Do not lengthen this side. This side leads also 5V/DC power supply and this will decrease the quality of the
signals (maximum allowed cable length is 5 m).

A longer cable would decrease the signal quality of the bus and cause several errors in the transmission!

Pin No. Notation Designation Direction (of cable)

3 Ltg_B Data line B BiDir
4 RTS-AS Request to Send from the PLC In
5 M5V Ground of the 5V In
6 P5V 5V output Out
7 P24V 24V Supply input In
8 Ltg_A Data line A BiDi
9 RTS-PG Request to Send to the PLC Out

Note

The shield is attached with the MPI/PPI connector via the shield of the adapter casing. To find directly
attended PLC´s , RTS-AS and M5V must be connected in the cable. P5V means a output of the cable and
works only as an output for a bus-termination with resistors. This 5V output doesn’t drive any load and
have a 100R resistor inside his direction.

observe:

Don’t lengthen the connection by a 1:1 cable to the PLC, because there are 24V and 5V inside of the cable.
The quality of the bus-signal will be risen down!

To lengthen the connection, please use a MPI-NETZ-Adapter and connect only the signals Ltg_A and Ltg_B
1:1 and the shield at both sides of the metal-casing at the SUB-D connector

For an extension of the cable please supply the cable with external power and only prolong the signals
Ltg_A and Ltg_B 1:1. Connect the shield on the SUB-D connector, possibly include a termination resistors
(on the bus-END).
