USB interface for MPI communication

Hi,
I am new to IWS. I am sorry if this questions is already answered, but i could not find this in the forum

I have the following equipment:
*USB interface
*MPI to USB adapter
*S7-300 CPU (CPU315-2DP)

How can i establish communication between IWS7.1 and my CPU?

Hi Syed,

To use that setup, you have two options:
- Use the driver MPI - which requires PRODAVE from Siemens
- Use an OPC server and connect that to Indusoft

I believe there is also a third party (free) driver for Siemens communication called LIBNODAVE, never used this myself, just remember that it was a free alternative to PRODAVE.

Thank u for the help. PRODAVE is helpful, much simpler than OPC Server for a newbie.
