Siemens USB PC Adapter firmware upgrade
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I have USB MPI+ cable v1.2 and my OS is win Vista ultimate I think i need to upgrade to v1.3 and in order to do that one end of the cable needs to be connected to the PLC and the usb to the computer, my question is that if to do this will it change any thing inside the PLC or no?
Thank you

I think there was a siemens matrix on compatibility of firmware and software for their plcs. I would post this on the siemens website, they would be better to give you an answer then here.
But as first glance I would not think the version of MPI firmware cable would make much different to the plc like the minor revision that you are stating. But I know siemens revisions were major when even incremented on a minor from 1.2 to 1.3.
Again post on siemens website or call their support.

And I'm a bit confused why "one end of the cable needs to be connected to the PLC and the usb to the computer"?! Only the PC-end should be connected for upgrading.
Which PLC are you working one, BTW? S7-200? or 300/400?

I am using S7-300. This cable I got from ebay, its not the original Siemens cable.
However I just realized that it does not support Profibus and my PLC and HMI are connected through Profibus. Anyone have any idea as to how to modify the cable to work with profibus?
Thanx
