More Information

Overview Manuals PCI Interface PROFIBUS Port Host Operation Status LEDs

Features:

  • A 32-bit 5 V PCI interface connects the board to the host PC.
  • A dedicated processor handles PROFIBUS communication independently from the host CPU.
  • A 9-pin Sub-D socket connects the external PROFIBUS network.
Siemens 6GK1561-3AA00 installs as a CP 5613 communication board in a compatible PCI host.

The onboard processor manages bus communication while the host application exchanges data through the installed software interface.

Front diagnostic indicators help separate PCI board status from the condition of the connected PROFIBUS segment.

The Siemens 6GK1561-3AA00 SIMATIC NET CP 5613 PCI Communications Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6GK1561-3AA00 SIMATIC NET CP 5613 PCI Communications Processor Manuals,Datasheets,Link 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.

Host Bus Connection

  • Slot format: The board uses a 32-bit PCI interface designed for a 5 V host slot.
  • Bus standard: PCI V2.1 Plug and Play identifies the processor within the PC system.
  • Power path: The installed board receives its 5 V DC supply from the PCI bus.
  • Host role: PC software exchanges process and diagnostic data through the installed CP 5613 interface.

External Bus Connection

  • Connector: A 9-pin Sub-D socket links the CP 5613 to the PROFIBUS cable.
  • Speed range: The interface operates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s according to the bus configuration.
  • Station scale: The communication processor supports the documented network size of up to 124 DP slaves.
  • Termination: PROFIBUS segment termination must follow the physical position of the board on the bus.

Processor and Software Roles

  • Protocol processing: The dedicated processor executes PROFIBUS communication apart from the host CPU workload.
  • Data exchange: The application transfers bus data through the Siemens communication software interface.
  • Board assignment: Plug and Play resources identify the PCI board to the host operating environment.
  • Order identity: C79458-L8000-A77 and 6GK1561-3AA00 must both be considered when matching the installed CP 5613.

Board and Network Indicators

  • Board state: Front indicators report whether the communications processor has initialized correctly.
  • Bus state: PROFIBUS activity and fault indications help locate a network-side issue.
  • Fault separation: LED patterns distinguish host-board problems from external bus conditions.
  • Service check: Indicator state should be recorded before power is removed for board or cable inspection.
Description
Siemens 6GK1561-3AA00 is a SIMATIC NET CP 5613 PCI communications processor that connects a PC station to PROFIBUS. The board handles PROFIBUS communication through its own processor instead of leaving all protocol work to the host computer.

Installed in a 32-bit 5 V PCI slot, 6GK1561-3AA00 receives operating power from the host bus and presents the communication interface to the PC software. Plug and Play identification supports assignment of the board within a PCI V2.1 system.

Through its 9-pin Sub-D connector, 6GK1561-3AA00 exchanges data at PROFIBUS rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s and can manage the documented DP slave count. Front LEDs separate board and bus conditions so a host-side problem can be distinguished from a PROFIBUS-side fault.

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.
Why are both C79458-L8000-A77 and 6GK1561-3AA00 associated with this CP 5613?
Siemens uses 6GK1561-3AA00 as the order number, while C79458-L8000-A77 is a verified product identifier for the same CP 5613 board.
What should be checked if a PC does not detect 6GK1561-3AA00?
Verify that 6GK1561-3AA00 is seated in a compatible 32-bit 5 V PCI slot and receives its PCI bus supply.
Why does PROFIBUS remain offline after installing 6GK1561-3AA00?
Check the 6GK1561-3AA00 Sub-D wiring, segment termination, configured baud rate, and Siemens communication software assignment.
Can 6GK1561-3AA00 be fitted into any PCI Express slot?
No. 6GK1561-3AA00 is a conventional 32-bit 5 V PCI board, not a PCI Express card.
How should the LEDs on 6GK1561-3AA00 be used during troubleshooting?
Record the 6GK1561-3AA00 board and bus LED states before changing software, cabling, or hardware so the fault domain remains identifiable.
