More Information

Overview Manuals PCI Interface DP Master DP-RAM & FDL Bus Connection

Features:

  • A 32-bit PCI interface connects the CP 5613 A3 to a compatible industrial PC.
  • The 9-pin RS485 port supports PROFIBUS from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s and up to 124 DP slaves.
  • DP-RAM, DP-Base, PG, and FDL functions connect the fieldbus schedule to the host application.
The card offloads PROFIBUS DP-master communication while the PC application reads and writes the configured process image through DP-RAM.

Conventional PCI compatibility is a hard selection boundary and cannot be inferred from a PC simply having an available expansion slot.

Network faults are diagnosed across software release, driver state, connector wiring, termination, addressing, and bus timing.

The Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02 CP 5613 A3 PCI PROFIBUS Communications Processor is supported with product documentation and selection assistance from Apter Power.
Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02 CP 5613 A3 PCI PROFIBUS Card 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.

Industrial PC Hardware Fit

  • Bus width: The card uses a conventional 32-bit PCI connector rather than PCI Express.
  • Voltage: The keyed interface supports the documented 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling environments.
  • Clock: Host operation is supported at 33 or 66 MHz PCI clock rates.
  • Slot planning: Mechanical clearance, interrupt resources, and motherboard support are checked before installation.

PROFIBUS Process-Data Control

  • Master role: The CP schedules cyclic exchange with configured PROFIBUS DP slaves.
  • Slave count: A project may include up to 124 DP slaves within the network and timing limits.
  • DP versions: DPV0, DPV1, and DPV2 services cover cyclic data, acyclic access, and supported advanced functions.
  • Bus timing: Baud rate, station addresses, cycle targets, and slave diagnostics are resolved in the configuration.

PC Application Data Paths

  • DP-RAM: Dual-port memory presents exchanged field data to the host application.
  • DP-Base: The included runtime provides configuration and program access to the communications processor.
  • PG protocol: Programming-device communication supports the documented engineering access.
  • FDL: Fieldbus Data Link services carry configured non-DP communication tasks.

RS485 Segment Requirements

  • Connector: The PROFIBUS cable terminates at a 9-pin Sub-D RS485 socket.
  • Rate: The selected network rate may range from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s.
  • Termination: Only the physical ends of the powered PROFIBUS segment are terminated.
  • Shielding: Connector shield continuity and equipotential bonding are verified along the segment.
Description
Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02 is a CP 5613 A3 communications processor that installs in a 32-bit PCI slot of an industrial PC. Its 3.3/5 V and 33/66 MHz PCI compatibility must be checked against the actual host motherboard before the card is fitted.

On the fieldbus side, 6GK1561-3AA02 provides one 9-pin Sub-D RS485 interface for PROFIBUS rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s. The card can operate as a DP master for as many as 124 configured slaves using supported DPV0, DPV1, and DPV2 services.

The DP-RAM interface of 6GK1561-3AA02 exchanges process data with the PC application independently of ordinary serial-port handling. Included DP-Base software supplies the runtime and configuration layer, while PG and FDL protocols support additional network tasks.

A working installation of 6GK1561-3AA02 therefore depends on three matched layers: PCI hardware, a supported operating-system and SIMATIC NET software combination, and a correctly terminated PROFIBUS segment. A link fault should be isolated across those layers rather than treated as a card-only failure.

Technical notes
Using a 32-bit PCI interface, Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02 links PC stations to PROFIBUS at up to 12 Mbit/s with DPV0/DPV1/DPV2, PG, and FDL services.

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 is 6GK1561-3AA02 not suitable for a PCI Express-only industrial PC?
6GK1561-3AA02 is a 32-bit conventional PCI card, so a PCI Express slot does not provide the required mechanical or electrical interface.
What should be checked when Windows detects Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02 but DP-Base cannot open it?
For Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02, verify the supported operating system, SIMATIC NET version, driver installation, license, and assigned hardware resources.
How does an application exchange cyclic data through 6GK1561-3AA02?
6GK1561-3AA02 uses its DP-RAM interface and DP-Base runtime to expose configured PROFIBUS process data to the host application.
Can 6GK1561-3AA02 manage 124 slaves at 12 Mbit/s in every topology?
6GK1561-3AA02 supports up to 124 slaves, but cable length, repeaters, bus load, diagnostics, and cycle time still constrain the real network.
Why do several PROFIBUS stations disappear together after connecting 6GK1561-3AA02?
Check 6GK1561-3AA02 connector wiring, segment termination, shield continuity, duplicate addresses, baud rate, and the nearest repeater or cable break.
What does the equidistance note on Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02 mean for selection?
Before relying on equidistant DP operation with Siemens 6GK1561-3AA02, confirm the released function status in the applicable SIMATIC NET software notes.
