MPI-II
1 Description
The MPI-II-Cable connects the programming device or PC over the serial Interface (COM-Port) or
the PC over the USB-Bus with the MPI- or DP/FMS-Connector of the S7-300/400 PLC. The
Cable selects automatically on the first access which Port and which Baud rate is used. With our
PLC-Programming-Application PG-95/PG-2000 or S7-for-Windows works the MPI-II-Cable with
up to 115.2kBaud on the PC - Side. Dedicated for Siemens-Applications the MPI-Speed-driver is
delivered, which could use Baudrates up to 115.2 kBaud. Together with the VCOM-driver you
could program your PLC over the USB-Port of the PC.
On the MPI-Side you could use Baud rates from 19k2 up to 12Mbaud. The Baudrates 3M,6M and
12Mbaud could only used when configured on the MPI-II-Cable by keyboard.An automatic
selection of the MPI-Baudrate is possible.
The MPI-II-Cable is power-supplied from the PLC and needs then no external supply. Over an
external connector it is possible to supply 24V to the Cable (if the Connection has only the 2
Data-Lines). All Voltages are decoupled together (24V Input to MPI-Bus and internal PowerSupply).

3 Installation
3.1 Hardware
MPI/PPI normal mode:
This cable will be connected with his short side to the MPI- or the DP/FMS-Interface of the PLC.
The MPI-II -Cable works with the current output voltages of the PLC and doesnt need any external
voltages. The cable requires a PLC to get the 24V out of it. You can also use an optional power
supply to work with an external 24V voltage. So the cable can be lengthen.
The longer side of the cable must be connect with the programming-device or with an PC to the
COM-Port. USB is connected with a Type A to A cable.
When the MPI-II-Cable gets the power it shows the software-version in the display and begins with
the test of its internal components. On the display all relevant data is displayed.
The cable will find at a MPI-Connection the active baud rate to the programming-device or to the
PC in the first time of communication and set his baud rate himself.
If you want to connect the cable to the 25-pin connector of the PC, you can use an adapter (9 pin
to 25 pin sub miniature D-connector) to work with this port.
The PLC-Programmingapplication PG95/PG-2000 or S7-for-Windows wotks the MPI- II - Cable
with up to 115,2kBaud on the PC-Side.
MPI-II as TS-Adapter (TS = Tele Service):
The TS-function allows the connection of a modem, to make a dial-up-network connection with a
2nd Modem and a PC to a S7-300/400. The Cable must be connected to TS-Adapter (with a
special pinning, no Gender-Changer) which is between the modem and the PLC .
To work with the MPI-II-Cable in his TS-function, you must make the following actions:
1) The cable must be configured as a TS-Adapter (instead
of PG or Pg the LCD display shows TS or Ts). You can turn on/off these function with the
free program MPI-Cable Manager.
2) Das Betriebssystem des Adapters muss eine Version hher als 1.45 haben. Diese Version wird
kurz nach dem Aufstecken auf die SPS angezeigt. Mit dem kostenlosen Programm MPI-cable
Manager kann das Betriebssystem auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht werden.
3) You need the TeleService-software from Siemens in your PC to work with the cable. The
configuration of the cable can be made with the TeleService-software from Siemens or with the
MPI-cable Manager
4) The connection of the modem to the MPI-II-cable must made with a special adapterplug
(no gender-changer or so)
Interfacecable 9pin to Modem Order.No. 9350-TS

The adapter for the TS-function only works with the MPI-II Cable with the
order-number 9352 !
MPI-II as HMI-Adapter (HMI = Human Machine Interface):
The HMI-possibility allows the connection of a operator panel (who has not an internal MPI-port,
but the HMI-protocol and a RS232-interface or USB) with a S7-300/400. The cable must be
connected between the operator panel and the PLC. The HMI-protocol must be a part of the
operator panel.
Behind the version V1.45 of the software inside the cable, you can use the cable as a HPI
adapter. Some operating panels are made to work with a serial Siemens-HMI-Adapter. The pining
to our cable is different. You may turn the wires 2 and 3 in a little adapter. Please look into the
handbook of the operator panel what you need for the correct pinning.

PC how much power it takes. With this menu you can change this configuration (in
special cases).
000mA => Only for MPI - II. Because this cable take its power out of the PLC.
360mA => Default value. The cable takes power out of the USB interface.
Some computers are blocking the drivers for the communication if the USB HUB
cannot provide enough power.
HINT: In any case the MPI-USB cable takes 360mA. Change the USB current on
your own risk. (The USB device of your PC can be overloaded!)

retry to connect (and then the correct version is transferred). In this case the HMI-versioninformation 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).

Note
The shield is attached with the MPI/PPI connector via the shield of the adapter casing. To find
directly attended PLCs , RTS-AS and M5V must be connected in the cable. P5V means a output
of the cable and works only as an output for a bus-termination with resistors. This 5V output
doesnt drive any load and have a 100R resistor inside his direction.
observe:
Dont lengthen the connection by a 1:1 cable to the PLC, because there are 24V and 5V inside of
the cable. The quality of the bus-signal will be risen down!
To lengthen the connection, please use a MPI-NETZ-Adapter and connect only the signals Ltg_A
and Ltg_B 1:1 and the shield at both sides of the metal-casing at the SUB-D connector

For an extension of the cable please supply the cable with external power
and only prolong the signals Ltg_A and Ltg_B 1:1. Connect the shield on the
SUB-D connector, possibly include a termination resistors (on the bus-END).

The cable is designed so that it can be directly connected to the PC. Optionally the end of the
cable can be extended with a 1:1 extension cable up to 15m. A good quality of the extension cord
must be respected.

Important:
Please do not lengthen this side, this side also supports the 5V/DC power supply (max. cable
length are 5 meters)

A longer cable would decrease the quality of the signal on the bus and may
cause several errors in the transmission!
