The USB-S7-Adaptor MPI is a USB interface to the MPI® bus converter for programming software or HMI. The USB-S7-Adaptor MPI® has a 1.2m long MPI® connecting cable, which can be directly plugged into the programming socket of the CPU or at any other node in the MPI® network.
The housing of the USB-S7-Adaptor MPI® contains a type „B“ USB socket. The USB-S7 -Adaptor MPI® can be connected to the PC via the USB cable supplied. USB-S7 Adaptor MPI® is powered from the PC. The USB-S7-Adaptor MPI® can be used at any node in the MPI® bus. A driver for Windows 98/2000/XP is supplied.

This adaptor converts the serial port signals into the MPI® protocol to provide all online functions available with S7 for Windows® or STEP®7. The required power supply is normally taken from the S7-300® or S7-400® PLCs programming port. If the MPI® Bus does not supply enough power, an external power supply (15 - 30VDC) may be connected to the PC-Adaptor serial MPI®. The PC-S7 Adaptor serial MPI®, DP has a 9 pin Sub-D connector to connect it to the PC via a standard zero-Modem cable (delivered with the PC-Adaptor serial MPI®).
