Hello, ParaffinPower, 1. Yes, I'm aware that the CSF is missing, but it shouldn't disturb the communication. 2. The PLC is CP1E, and it is provided by a USB cable. But I'm not using this cable. In this case I'm using a second cable which is connecting 1:1 the serial port of the PC with the serial port of the PLC. There is no LED for this Comm port. 3. From the PC-side I'm defining the settings for Hostlink, from the PLC-side, I don't know.
