More Information

Overview Manuals Host Interface Network Access Software Scope Applications

Features:

  • Processor: SIMATIC NET CP 5612 communications card.
  • Network: one RS-485 interface for PROFIBUS or MPI.
  • Host bus: 32-bit conventional PCI with 3.3 V/5 V Universal Key.
The card adds an internal industrial-network path to a compatible programming device or PC.

PROFIBUS communication supports documented transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s.

Host-slot compatibility and the installed SIMATIC NET software release must be confirmed together.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • 6GK1561-2AA00 uses a 32-bit PCI interface with a 3.3 V/5 V Universal Key for integration in a compatible programming device or industrial PC.
  • The host-side PCI connection operates at 33 MHz or 66 MHz, supporting the conventional PCI bus implementations specified for CP 5612.
  • The processor occupies one internal card position and uses the computer as its communication platform rather than operating as a standalone network appliance.
  • SIMATIC NET software provides the PC communication environment that exposes the installed card to engineering and automation applications.
  • The card provides one RS485 industrial-network interface through a 9-pin Sub-D socket.
  • PROFIBUS transmission rates span 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s, covering common low- and high-speed PROFIBUS network settings.
  • The same CP 5612 hardware connects the host programming device or PC to either PROFIBUS or MPI according to the configured network.
  • Because the card has one field-side interface, the required PROFIBUS or MPI connection must be planned as its single industrial communication path.
  • 6GK1561-2AA00 operates within the SIMATIC NET PC software environment rather than as an unmanaged plug-in card.
  • Siemens identifies 32-bit and 64-bit operating-system variants, while the supported combination still depends on the installed SIMATIC NET release.
  • Engineering or automation applications reach PROFIBUS or MPI after the host recognizes the card and the matching software components are installed.
  • A replacement host must preserve both the conventional PCI hardware path and an operating-system/software combination that supports CP 5612.
  • Programming-device access to PROFIBUS stations from a Siemens PG or compatible PC-based engineering station.
  • MPI communication between a host computer and SIMATIC automation equipment for commissioning or service work.
  • PC-based PROFIBUS communication where industrial software exchanges data through a dedicated internal PCI card.
  • Maintenance replacement in an installed CP 5612 architecture whose host slot, SIMATIC NET environment and field network are retained.
Description
A conventional PCI host can join PROFIBUS or MPI through 6GK1561-2AA00, the Siemens SIMATIC NET CP 5612 communications processor. It gives a compatible programming device or industrial PC an internal network interface for engineering, diagnostics and process communication.

On the field side, 6GK1561-2AA00 provides one RS-485 connection on a 9-pin Sub-D socket and supports PROFIBUS rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s. The same card can serve MPI when the SIMATIC NET configuration and connected network are set accordingly.

Successful replacement depends on the host computer as well as the network, so 6GK1561-2AA00 must be matched to a 32-bit conventional PCI slot and a supported SIMATIC NET software environment. A PCI Express system is not a direct hardware fit.

Technical notes
6GK1561-2AA00 uses a conventional 32-bit PCI host interface, not a PCI Express form factor. A replacement computer therefore needs a compatible 3.3 V or 5 V Universal Key PCI slot together with a SIMATIC NET software release that supports its operating system; otherwise the card cannot restore the intended PROFIBUS or MPI communication path.

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.
Does 6GK1561-2AA00 include the five-metre MPI cable supplied with the CP 5612 MPI package?
No. Siemens lists the base article as the CP 5612 PCI card; the five-metre MPI cable is included with 6GK1561-2AM00, so order the cable separately when it is required.
Can a maintenance engineer use 6GK1561-2AA00 to connect a service PC to an installed MPI network?
Yes, when the computer provides the required conventional PCI slot and the SIMATIC NET installation supports the host operating system. The card can then be configured for MPI service.
Why might a PC recognize 6GK1561-2AA00 while PROFIBUS stations remain unreachable?
Host detection confirms only the PCI connection. If field stations remain unreachable, inspect the SIMATIC NET interface assignment and compare the configured network rate, station address and RS485 bus termination with the running segment.
Which details should a buyer provide when requesting 6GK1561-2AA00 for an existing machine?
Provide a photo of the installed card label, the host-computer model, operating-system architecture, SIMATIC NET release and whether the field connection is PROFIBUS or MPI. These details establish whether the request matches the installed CP 5612 environment.
Can two identical 6GK1561-2AA00 cards be installed in the same PC?
No. Siemens specifies one plug-in card of the same design per PC, so a design requiring a second identical CP 5612 should not assume dual-card operation in the same host.
Is 6GK1561-2AA00 suitable for an enclosure that can exceed 55 °C during operation?
No. Siemens specifies an operating ambient range of 5 to 55 °C. If the enclosure can exceed that upper limit, correct the thermal design or choose an officially supported alternative before commissioning.
