Siemens S7

I have just started in a new company and they have S7 300 & 400 PLCs. What software, comms cables etc do I need to interogate the programs? I have never worked on S7 before. Many thanks

Well you gonna need Simatic Step 7 and a MPI Adapter like 6ES7 972-0CB20-0XA0 (USB - MPI). And there is also other products if you dont wont to use Siemens Orginal (hmm like S7 for Windows or WinPLC7 from Vipa and i aslo think that Vipa has cabels for programming). I would go for Siemens Orginal. Step 7 Professional S7 for Windows Vipa //Edmund Edited 15 Jul 2007 by edda
