Has anyone had any success talking to a Siemens S7 PLC via USB hub+serial adapter?
I have a working RS232-MPI/DP adapter, but a laptop with a blown serial port. Adding a USB hub with built-in serial and parallel ports works for
serial comms to everything but the Siemens PLC.
Siemens tech support are non-committal - 'It might work.... can't guarantee it'.
It was all working before the laptop port died, and the laptop repair is big bucks, so I'd rather like a solution that makes financial sense. The Siemens PCMCIA card is a bit too expensive.
