A S7 adapter for direct access

The ACCON-MPI-Adapter allows the connection of a PC via its serial interface to the MPI interface of a S7 PLC. If you prefer to use the Ethernet interface instead of the serial interface of your PC, you can thereby use a higher transmission speed. For this we recommend the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact.

Perfect fields of application

  • As programming adapter to create and change the PLC program
  • As communication adapter for visualizations
  • As communication adapter to access the PLC's data

Varied ranges of application

  • Programming S7 PLCs with STEP 7
  • Connecting visualizations with S7 PLCs
  • Logging S7 data (e.g. with ACCON-EasyLog)

Convincing and varied

The ACCON-MPI-Adapter RS-232 uses the same communication protocol as the PC adapter. Thus, the ACCON-MPI-Adapter RS-232 can be used with any software supporting the PC adapter.

Technical highlights

  • Low-cost solution for programming and visualization
  • Serial transmission rate up to 115.2 Kbps
  • MPI speed up to 187.5 Kbps
  • Voltage supply from the CPU
  • External 24 VDC voltage feed possible
  • Made in Germany

Note:
Starting with STEP 7 version 5.5 SP2, Siemens no longer supports serial COM ports under Windows 7 64-bit. The Siemens TIA Portal also no longer supports any COM ports - regardless of which operating system it is installed on! We will be happy to advise you about alternatives.

Can the functionality of an ACCON-MPI-Adapter RS-232 be tested with the ACCONfigurator?

There is an "available participants" feature in the toolbar. This function can be used to display the reachable participants.


On the adapter, the polarity for the external power supply is no longer legible. How can I determine it instead?

The cover of the manual of the ACCON-MPI-Adapter RS-232 shows the polarity.
