At our school we have issues with USB converters with the Prolific chip and Win7, even when using the latest drivers. Converters using the FTDI chip are reported to be better, but we have instead replaced most of our older PLCs with CJ2M and CP1L.

Buy the one from Omron - it has an FTDI chipset and is tested by Omron for use with all their PLCs etcetera - I have not found anything yet where it does not work.
