S7-300/400 Programming cables

[PLC70 0]

Hi friends, I want to know programming cables types which could be used to connect S7-300/400 PLC to PC or PG. Please tell me Manual/document which can provide this information.

Hi PLC70 For PC connection you require a MPI device and for the PG connection the PG has a built in MPI port so it should have a cable for the connection. Rodney

Ethernet, if available will be the best choice ever. However you can use PC adapter from your local siemens distributor. http://cache.automation.siemens.com/dnl/jA/jA1NTkwNwAA_16983464_HB/PC_Adapter_USB_e.pdf Also you'll find a cheaper one at http://www.ind-concepts.com/Siemens_PLC_Programming_Cables.htm seller offer a good support and all cable I bought work fine.
