s7-200 PPI cable

May 13, 2004 1 Replies

Hi! I have just bought a simatic s7-214 and need to build an interface converter from rs-232 to PPI. Does anyone have information or has build his own cable? I know that the PPI interface is RS-485, but how is communication control (direction) managed? Is it over RTS Signal from PC-side, or is it dominant / recessive bus state?



Thanx in advance!



Greetings, Paul


I suggest that you buy the interface cable.
