Hello,

Are you using a Siemens PG? Please give the MLFB number 6ES7.....

Or are you using a Laptop? Does it have a real COM port?

Best regards,

Wizard

Hello rahul1234,
I have some questions about your configuration.


Does your PG have not any serial interfaces (V.24, TTY)?

Does your PG only have USB interfaces?
What type for a PG to you use? Or is it a PC?
What kind of version of STEP 5 software have you installed?

Best Regards

Hello,

The recommendation of Wizard is a very good recommendation.
The STEP 5 online communication should work with that.
You find further information also here.

I still have found the following thread. Perhaps could be interesting.
