The “6ES7 972-0CA23-0XA0” is a part number for a communication cable manufactured by Siemens AG for use with their SIMATIC S7-200 series programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
To connect a computer or other device to the S7-200 PLC using this cable, you would typically need to install the appropriate driver software on the computer. However, the specific driver required will depend on the type of communication interface being used (e.g. USB, serial port, etc.), as well as the operating system of the computer.
Siemens provides driver software for their products on their website. You can search for the specific driver for your system by visiting the Siemens support website and entering the part number or model number of your product. Alternatively, you may be able to find the driver through a search engine or by contacting Siemens customer support.

I bought this PC Adapter USB 6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0 ASAMOTION but it does not work at all as my
original SIEMENS one.
Driver is available but there is no MPI connectivity behind. Just LED action.
Do you sell this unit as chinese FAKE box ? (DUMMY for dummies ?)
Should I open the unit and check what is really inside or can you send me a working one ?
