MPI/PPI
1Description
The MPI/PPI-cable connects the programming device or the computer with the MPI-interface of
an S7-300/400 or with the PPI-interface of an S7-200 over the serial interface (COM-Port). The
cable recognizes automatically while attach on it on the PLC, which PLC-type is connected. At
the first access from the PD´s on the cable it recognizes the baud rate for communication with
the PLC. With the programming device PG-2000 or S7-for-windows the MPI/PPI-cable works up
to 115.2 kbaud on the computer side.
Here it can communicate with each member which is connected to the bus or even with the
backplane bus. It is the best to work over the S7-project.
The MPI/PPI-cable supplies itself from the PLC and didn´t need a foreign supply. All power
supplies are galvanic seperated. To reach high distance to an PLC with the MPI/PPI-cable you
need the MPI-NETZ-adapter to feed the cable with the 24VDC supply voltage.
2System requirements
2.1 Operating system (s)
Windows 98 + SE
Windows ME/NT/2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
2.2 Software
PLC - programming software (eg PG2000, Step © 7, S7 for Windows, Microwin)
2.3 Hardware
9pin. or 25 pins. COM interface
24V power supply (MPI or PPI interface)
3Installation
3.1 Hardware
MPI/PPI standard mode:
The cable is plugged with the short cable side to the MPI- or PPI-port of the PLC. The MPI/PPI-
cable sources itself normally with the 24V of this port and do not need externel voltage. The
cable needs everytime a PLC of course the 24V supply or optionally the MPI-Netz-Adapter. The
longer cable side has to connect in the COM-port of your PD or PC.
As the cable has supply voltage, you can see in the display the version of the included firmware
and start with an internal test of the included parts. After this test the adaptor checks if he is
connected to a PLC and tries to recognize the baudrate of the connected bus. In the display of
the cable you can see all relevant information.
The cable detects automatically the baudrate parameters to the programming device when the
communication starts and will use them.
If your PD or PC has only a COM-port with 25pin, you can use a normal "mouse adapter" or our
article number 9359-9 to change the pins from 25 to 9pin.
If you will use the plc-programming-software PG2000 or S7-für-Windows the MPI/PPI-cable will
work with 115.2 kBaud on the PC-side.

MPI/PPI as TS-Adapter (TS = Tele Service):
The TS-possibility allows the connection of a modem, to make a connection with a 2nd Modem
and a PC to a S7-300/400. The Cable must be connected between the modem (with a special
adapter piece, no Gender-Changer) and the PLC.
To work with the MPI-Cable in his TS-function, you must make the following actions:
1) The cable must be configured as a TS-Adapter (instead of „PG“ or „Pg“ the LCD display
shows „TS“ or „Ts“). You can turn on/off these function with the free program „MPI cable
manager“.
2) The program inside of the cable must have a version greater than V1.45. This version
number will be displayed for a short time behind the plugging to a S7 PLC. You can update the
cable software with the free program „MPI cable manager“.
3) You need the TeleService-software from Siemens in your PC to work with the cable. The
configuration of the cable can be made with the TeleService-software from Siemens or with the
„MPI cable manager“.
4) The connection of the modem to the MPI-cable must made with a special adapter plug
(no Gender-Changer or so)
Order information for the special adapter:
Adapter for TS-function 9-pol Article-no. 9350-TS
The adapter for the TS-function only works with the MPI/PPI–Cable with the order-
number 9350 !
MPI/PPI as HMI-Adapter (HMI = Human Machine Interface):
The HMI-possibility allows the connection of a operator panel (who has not an internal MPI-port,
but the HMI-protocol and a RS232-interface) with a S7-300/400. The cable must be connected
between the operator panel and the PLC. The HMI-protocol must be a part of the operator
panel.
Behind the version V1.45 of the software inside the cable, you can use the cable as a HMI
adapter. Some operating panels are made to work with a Siemens-HMI-Adapter. The pining to
our cable is different. You may turn the wires 2 and 3 in a little adapter. Please look into the
handbook of the operator panel what you need for the correct pinning.

5 Implementing
Connect your module as described in the chapter " Hardware installation " to the PLC and to the
programming device or to your computer.
If you want to respond to a PLC via the module you have to comply the
requirements as descript in the chapter "system requirements" . In addition,please
make sure that the module is properly connected
5.1 Programming software to use with direct access
After you have adjusted and connected the PLC-VCOM or the programming adapter to the
COM-port on your computer, you will be able to connect with your programming software
to the PLC and work with it.
How you have to adjust your programming software is described in the following points:
5.1.1 PG2000 für S7 (V5.10)
1. Start the PG 2000 software by using the desktop link or by using the application entry in the
start menu.

2. Choose from "View" => "S7-300/400"
In the menu “Options“ click “Interfaces“..
3. A dialog appears, in which you are able to
set the “AG-Interface” (COM-port) in the
section “Interfaces”.
4. Configure the baud rate in the section
“Bus access“ to “19,2k“. Below change the
value for PC - MPI to “187,5kBaud“.
5. Save your configuration by pressing “OK“.
6. Now the software is ready to establish a
connection to the PLC
Click the symbol “Open“ and afterwards
press “PLC”.
Alternative you can click:
„File“ => „Open“ => „PLC“
The connection between PG 2000 and the
PLC is now established.
A new window appears. Now you can edit
the blocks in the PLC.
