GSM Modem SIM Card Services. Before using any other function block in the MODEM library, use the ConfigSim function block only when your GSM modem’s SIM card requires one of these: o Enter the PIN code. O Configure the SMS center phone number. O Send an initialization command. Use in some countries may require modification of the internal modem’s initialization strings. If problems using the modem on your phone system occur, please contact Schneider Electric Technical Support. 3D product models in STEP format to import into the user’s CAD system. Includes Lexium MDrive, MDrive Plus, MForce and Hybrid Stepper Motor products.
Cable Drivers
MD-CC3/4 and Windows x64 systems
The older versions of the MD-CC30x-001 USB to SPI and MD-CC40x-001 USB to RS-422/485 communication converter cables were developed to work with Windows 32-bit operating systems. These cables must have the the internal ID reset in order to be supported by current Windows 64-bit operating systems.
How do I know if I have an older cable?
The most recent cable will install as 'Silicon Labs C210x USB to UART Bridge (COMXX)' in the device manager of your PC under Ports (COM and LPT).
In the case of MD-CC3 and MD-CC4 cables with the incompatible ID, when the device manager attempts to find the drivers and fails to install them, the message that opens will show the IMS part number: MD-CC400-000 or MD-CC300-000 on the dialog, as shown below.
Additionally, the part number will display under other devices in your computer's device manager.
Please contact applications for information on cable updates

Interface Description
IGSS offers an interface for the Modicon PLC series and Modbus compatible systems using the Serial Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols.
The communication driver uses standard RS-232 serial ports to connect to up to 8 PLCs. Each of these PLCs may in turn be connected to other devices (e.g. other PLCs) via a separate network (e.g. Modbus or Modbus Plus networks)
The communication interface supports both direct and dial-up connections.
The IGSS system polls the PLC equipment cyclically according to one of four user-defined time intervals. The time intervals are configurable from 100 milliseconds to 999 seconds. The system automatically groups process data in data blocks – thus fully exploiting the communication link in relation to the present configuration.
