button „Transfer“. The configuration is saved permanently in the Flash-ROM:
Time to send:
At ProTool RT the communication could break down, because the MPI-Cable is transferring the answer-
protocol to fast. In this property you could insert a time in 0.1ms ticks. Insert at first 300, to great values
are preventing the communication.
HMI-Cable-Version:
Some Touch-panels have the problem, that when they get a wrong version-information they never retry to
connect (and then the correct version is transferred). In this case the HMI-version-information could be
transferred immediately.
A20-Terminal:
When using the A20 or M20-Terminal, the control-lines on the serial port are not used. In that case the
tele-service-function is not working. With this property the control-lines are no longer used and therefore
the A20/M20 can communicate over tele-service.
Bootconfiguration:
Normally the MPI-Cable automatically selects the correct bus-type, no changes are needed. In special-
cases the MPI-Bus could be selected as PPI.
For example: This application and the PLC are powered on at the same time. The application is
communicating immediately with the cable, the PLC is booting, in this case the MPI-Bus is not driven. The
MPI-Bus is erroneous, so no communication is starting.
If this occurs you could choose, that the cable is working as MPI-Adapter only..
Language:
You could select the language which is used from the cable (German or English).

The PLC-VCom application is needed for use with the following devices:
• MPI-LAN Cable– Art. No.. 9352-LAN
• S7-LAN Modul – Art. No.. 9352-LANCon
• MPI-USB Cable– Art. No.. 9352-USB
• S7-USB Modul – Art. No.. 9352-S7-USB
