4 Installation
4.1 Hardware
The S7/MPI-USB is plugged directly into the PLC. Via the USB cable of the module can be connected to the
PLC as follows:
Normal installation (for programming)
The MPI cable will be connected to the S7 PLC via the 9 pin connector (short side of the cable). The USB
connector on the long side of the cable will be connected with the computer.
S7/MPI-USB as HMI (Human Machine Interface) – adapter
The HMI – function provides the possibility to connect a operator panel (which has instead of a MPI
interface a USB device and understands the HMI protocol) with a S7 PLC (300/400). Connect the cable
between the terminal and the PLC. The HMI – protocol must be part of the operator panel.
There must be a serial communication with the operator panel if this op is new/used at the first time.
Therefore connect your operator panel with the serial COM interface of your computer. After the
communication has been running successfully the panel is ready to be connected to the PLC.
