Connecting a Printer
Printer connection
Always attach a printer to the PU interface on the OP. The connection to the
PU has to be unplugged before you can do so.
If the OP is connected to the PLC through a TTY or V.24 interface, a Y cable is requi-
red for simultaneous operation of a printer. The PLC and printer, in this case, are ope-
rated with physically different interfaces.
Figure 18-1 Connection Configuration Scheme for Printers
For attaching Siemens printers (DR210/211/230/231-N), there are standard
cables available (refer to Catalog No. ST80.1).
For other printers, you have to use the cables supplied or specially manufac-
tured ones.
Note
SIEMENS AG accepts no responsibility whatsoever for malfunctions and
damage arising from the use of self-made cables or cables from other
manufacturers.
