The xs7ppi.tlk driver was successfully tested in several applications with PLCs belonging to the S7-200 family using the following cable:

- Cable PC/PPI multimaster
- 6ES7 901-3CB30-0XA0
- E-STAND:03

This cable can be ordered to Siemens as follows:

Smart RS232/PPI cable with built-in RS232/RS485 level converter (6ES7 901-3CB30-0XA0)

Suggested Cable Dip Switches Configuration:

- 1    0    
- 2    1    9600 bauds 
- 3    0    
- 4    X    Spare
- 5    1    Multimaster
- 6    0    Local DCE
- 7    0    11 bits
- 8    X    Spare
 
Important Note:

The suggested configuration will only work with TAS-HMITalk. If you want to communicate using MicroWin, you will need to set dip switch 5 to 0 in order tohave the cable work as Freeport/PPI instead of Multimaster. Besides, you will need to uncheck the "Multimaster" and "Advanced PPI" options in the MicroWin configuration. Set dip switch back to 1 if you want to communicate using TAS-HMITalk.
