The only information I can share is the link I already posted.  I sent a private message just asking him if he wanted me to help remotely. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/19701610/how-do-you-do-an-operating-system-update-on-operator-panels-or-perform-a-reset-to-factory-settings-?dti=0&lc=en-NL

So far I've found a diagram to build your own: https://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/files/file/228-cutler-hammer-d100-toshiba-ex40-rs232-interface-adapter/

Hi Igor, I sent you a PM.

If indeed you have a CPU 216 (not to be confused with a CPU 226), then I recommend upgrading to an S7-1200.  The HMI would likely need upgrading as well. The 1st Gen S7-200 (CPU 21x) has issues with vibration.  I've witnessed this issue more than once - I even gently taped on one and watched all the I/O flicker.

Here you go! OK184313_1090204.pdf

Robror, I sent you a private message.

See the following link: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/19701610/how-do-you-do-an-operating-system-update-on-operator-panels-or-perform-a-reset-to-factory-settings-?dti=0&lc=en-NL

On the 3rd line, you're missing the instruction.  If your original STL is like this: :O    F11.0 :O    F11.1 :O( :A I81.6 :AN    F11.2 :AN    F11.2 :O    I81.6 :A    Q64.3 :) :A    I64.6 :A    I64.0 :AN    F3.6 :=    Q64.3 Then the logic would look like the attached picture.  I tried it also with the third line as A(, but the logic doesn't make sense this way. Please check your STL code you posted, and make the necessary correction.  

Unfortunately, there is no information about the pin configuration that I can find. I found a non-working IM 621 on ebay with the cable for 10 euro (plus shipping): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Siemens-Simatic-S7-6ES7-621-1AD00-6AE3-993gr-RA-2-9kg/153546712587?hash=item23c018e60b:g:aNcAAOSwPdNdF0Q1 I would consider upgrading this C7-621 to a S7-1500 and Comfort HMI if you plan to keep this machine for a long time.

If you have the unit and want to find out what version it is, open Accessible Notes (3rd icon from the left in SIMATIC Manager), then right click the node that shows up (typically node = 2) and choose PLC -> Module Information

V1.1 and V1.2 are firmware (operating system) versions of the C7-621. If you have the unit, you can see the firmware version online.  If you don't have it, and don't know the firmware version, choose V1.1.  You can always replace it with V1.2 later if you find out it is V1.2.

This may help too... but verify the NCU/PCU you have first!! https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf//WW/en/posts/restore-the-archive-of-840d-pl/206856?page=0&pageSize=10

This might get you pointed in the right direction... now I remember I restored from an archive that was stored on the HMI (or PCU?) that was connected to the NCU... but this was a different 840D, and I'm not sure which NCU/PCU you have in your system. http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=59436

Upon further reading.... The NCU itself sits inside the box. So we still don't know which NCU you have.
