Siemens 6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0 PC Adapter USB
The Siemens 6ES7-972-0CB20-0XA0 PC Adapter USB enabled reliable communication between SIMATIC S7-200/300/400 PLCs and engineering PCs. With a 5m USB cable and support for legacy Windows systems, it was a widely used tool for commissioning and programming older automation systems.
Though now discontinued, its successor – the PC Adapter USB A2 (6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0) – offers improved compatibility and continues to support both MPI and PROFIBUS connections.
