This configuration allows only one master device and supports only the PPI
protocol. In order to communicate through the PPI interface, the S7-200 PLC
requires that the modem use an 11-bit data string. In this mode, the S7-200
controller requires one start bit, eight data bits, one parity bit (even parity), one
stop bit, asynchronous communication, and a transmission speed of 9600 baud.
Many modems are not capable of supporting this data format. The modem
requires the settings listed in Table 7-3.
Figure 7-20 shows the pin assignments for a null modem adapter and a 25-Pin to
9-Pin Adapter.
