The adapter is available as:
SPC adapter 6ES7 972-0CA2x-0XA0

or

STS adapter 6ES7 972-0CA3x-0XA0
Note
Where ’adapter’ is referred to below, the text applies to both
variants.
The PC adapter connects a PC to the MPI/DP interface
(Multipoint Interface) via the serial COM port of an S7/M7/C7
system.
This does not require a PC slot, that is, the adapter is also
suitable for use in non-expandable PCs such as notebooks.
