        Features:

        • The PCI processor adds PROFINET controller and device functions to an industrial PC.
        • Four 100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports form an integrated real-time Ethernet switch.
        • ERTEC 400 hardware handles cyclic and isochronous communication outside the host CPU.
        Siemens 6GK1161-6AA00 moves process data between host memory and the configured PROFINET network.

        The integrated switch of 6GK1161-6AA00 connects four line or ring segments without a separate managed switch layer.

        Engineering resources on 6GK1161-6AA00 define device counts, submodules, I/O volume, and real-time behavior.

        The Siemens 6GK1161-6AA00 CP 1616 PROFINET PCI Communication Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

        Card Power and Host Exchange

        • Bus format: The card installs in a compatible 32-bit PCI slot operating at 33 or 66 MHz.
        • Voltage signaling: The host connector supports the documented 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling.
        • Normal power: The PCI backplane supplies the communication processor during host operation.
        • External feed: A 6 to 9 V DC connector supports the documented separate service or commissioning condition.

        Controller and Device Operation

        • Controller mode: The processor coordinates the configured group of PROFINET IO devices.
        • Device mode: The same card can expose the documented I/O image as a PROFINET device.
        • IRT capacity: Isochronous real-time operation is limited by the documented device and data resources.
        • Engineering boundary: The selected role, station name, addresses, and I/O modules must agree with the project.

        Real-Time Ethernet Forwarding

        • Port group: Four RJ45 interfaces operate at 100 Mbit/s.
        • Integrated forwarding: The card switches PROFINET frames between the connected segments.
        • Management scope: The integrated switch is unmanaged rather than a standalone configurable Layer 2 switch.
        • Ring participation: Configured ports can take the documented MRP client or redundancy-manager role.

        Resource and Network Verification

        • Topology discovery: LLDP exposes neighboring devices and port relationships to the engineering system.
        • Device naming: DCP assigns and identifies the PROFINET station parameters.
        • Status monitoring: SNMPv1 and Siemens diagnostics report supported processor and network conditions.
        • Resource check: Device count, submodule count, and total I/O bytes are validated before commissioning.
        Description
        Siemens 6GK1161-6AA00 is a SIMATIC NET CP 1616 PCI communication processor for PROFINET. Its ERTEC 400 hardware transfers real-time Ethernet data between the host industrial PC and four RJ45 network ports, allowing the PC to operate in the documented controller or device role.

        The four-port switch integrated in 6GK1161-6AA00 forwards 100 Mbit/s PROFINET traffic and supports isochronous real-time communication. Because the switching function is unmanaged, network topology, ring role, and device naming are set through the PROFINET engineering environment rather than a general web-management interface.

        Power for 6GK1161-6AA00 normally enters through the PCI backplane, while the external low-voltage connector supplies the card for the documented independent commissioning or service condition. The host slot must provide the supported 32-bit PCI voltage and frequency combination.

        Controller and device resource limits on 6GK1161-6AA00 define the number of stations, submodules, and I/O bytes that can be exchanged. DCP, LLDP, SNMP, and diagnostic functions identify the processor and network state without turning the card into a general-purpose routed Ethernet adapter.

        Technical notes
        The ERTEC 400 and integrated four-port switch let Siemens 6GK1161-6AA00 exchange PROFINET real-time data independently of ordinary host Ethernet traffic.

        FAQS

        The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
        VIEW ALL FAQS
        Why is 6GK1161-6AA00 not visible after installation in a PC?
        Check that the 6GK1161-6AA00 PCI slot provides the required bus format, signaling voltage, backplane power, and supported driver or engineering software.
        Can 6GK1161-6AA00 operate as both controller and device?
        Siemens 6GK1161-6AA00 supports the documented PROFINET IO controller and IO device roles, but the selected project determines the active configuration.
        Why is the external supply connector present on 6GK1161-6AA00?
        The 6 to 9 V DC input lets 6GK1161-6AA00 support the documented service or commissioning condition independently of normal PCI backplane power.
        Is the four-port switch of 6GK1161-6AA00 web-managed?
        No. The 6GK1161-6AA00 switch is integrated and unmanaged; PROFINET engineering defines names, roles, topology, and real-time behavior.
        What should be checked when IRT communication fails on 6GK1161-6AA00?
        Verify the 6GK1161-6AA00 topology, device names, synchronized project, port assignments, IRT-capable partners, and configured resource limits.
        Can 6GK1161-6AA00 use a normal routed Ethernet network for real-time I/O?
        The real-time PROFINET path of 6GK1161-6AA00 depends on its configured Layer 2 topology and timing; a general IP route does not replace that connection.
