Request: PC RS232 adapter V5.1 (6ES7972 0CA23 0XA0) driver

[daca2309]

I need driver for PC adapter V5.1 with RS232 COM.
I couldn't establish connection with plc with this cable.
I use Step 7 V5.5 SP2 HF4 on Win7 64-bit.
In PC/PG interface I adjust this interface (PC adapter.MPI.1).
Thanks

You don't need special system drivers (I don't know if these even exist).
Check your COM settings.
Is your RS232 port integrated with your computer or do you use some kind of RS233 expansion card or USB/ExpressCrad/PCMCIA converter?

Yes, COM port is phisical, integrated port in laptop.
For information, in xP mode (virtual machine compatibility mode XP) I have installed step 7 V5.4 sp5 and under this softvare PC adapter work properly!!!!!
And other information: if you go to set PC/PG interface and tap to select tab you can see all interface installed from step 7 and when you mark on PC adapter you can see the next:
Adapter for MPI/PROFIBUS net via USB interface of the PC
Because of that I need appropriate driver for this adapter with COM port

Adapter for MPI/PROFIBUS net via USB interface of the PC

I think there should be (must be?) description: Adapter for MPI/PROFIBUS net via serial or USB interface of the PC
Check interface configuration: Set PG/PC Interface>PC Adapter(select Auto or desired protocol)>Properties>Local Connection>Connection to:COM(your port number).
If you fail with any step I would recommend uninstall Step7, clean disk and register and try to install again.
Also: "You must set the transmission rate on the PC adapter according to the entry you make. Make sure that there are no active connections."
