Setting Up Communications Hardware and Network Communications
This configuration allows only one master device and supports only the PPI
protocol. In order to communicate through the PPI interface, the S7-200 PLC
requires that the modem use an 11-bit data string. In this mode, the S7-200
controller requires one start bit, eight data bits, one parity bit (even parity), one
stop bit, asynchronous communication, and a transmission speed of 9600/19,200
baud. Many modems are not capable of supporting this data format. The modem
requires the settings listed in Table 7-4.
Figure 7-20 shows the pin assignments for a null modem adapter and a 25-pin to
9-pin Adapter.
