I need to connect a Siemens s7-216 to a PC where ProTool 5.2SP3 is running. Can I do that with the PPI serial interface ?
Thanks.

Yes, however, you will need ProTool/Pro CS as your configuration software on
your desktop or laptop and you will need ProTool/Pro RT with a tag license
installed on the runtime PC. When you select the S7200 as the controller,
the Network Parameter options that are available are; PPI, MPI, DP,
Standard, Universal. Choose PPI and then set the baud rate.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me directly at

As you know ProTool is for configuring The HMI devices by Siemens. However, if you buy/have Protool *Pro* CS and RT software, you can use your PC like an HMI device (like a limited/simple SCADA)and connect it to S7-200 from V5.2. Another possibility is to buy the MicroComputing Software for s7-200 (it's about USD 200)and write your own Scada in Visual Basic/C.
