Does anybody know of a manufacturer that sells an rs232- mpi adapter suitable for use with siemens s7, as the siemens price for their
equipment is quite expensive!!

cheers

It is the Siemens politics. You will find it nowhere except in Siemens for lots of money.
Try to use RS485 to access. There Siemens can do nothing.

I'm contact process-informatik in Germany few months later, for knows its offer for connection. But now my question is another: I want with a more people as possible to know the inside features, and the protocol secrets of Mpi and Profibus. Process-Informatik sell its experience, and source codes at prize from 999 DM to 18.000 DM, too expensive for my use, my scope is only purely cognitive, and the result of my experiments will be done public.

Thanks.
Best Regards
