Features:
- 6GK1561-4AA02 connects a PCI host to two independent PROFIBUS networks.
- An onboard processor and dual-port RAM offload communication from the PC.
- FastLogic supports deterministic DP processing directly on the CP 5614 A3.
The two-interface layout lets one card coordinate a master segment while participating separately as a DP device, without combining both roles on one connector.
Host applications can use PG/OP, S7 and FDL services through the corresponding SIMATIC NET software paths, giving each communication task a defined interface.
On-card filtering and event handling reduce unnecessary transfers across the PCI bus, while diagnostic indicators expose the operating state of the PROFIBUS channels.
The Siemens 6GK1561-4AA02 CP 5614 A3 may be available for purchase and support from Apter Power.

Two-network role assignment
- Interface One: The first PROFIBUS port operates as the DP master channel.
- Interface Two: The second port supports DP device or slave operation.
- Network Separation: Each role uses an independent PROFIBUS segment.
- Connector Form: Both paths terminate on screw-locked 9-pin Sub-D female connectors.
PCI platform requirements
- Bus Width: The communications processor uses a 32-bit PCI interface.
- Signaling: The card supports both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling.
- Clock Rate: A 33 MHz or 66 MHz PCI bus can host the card.
- Card Count: As many as four CP 5614 A3 cards can be installed in one PC.
Software communication services
- PG/OP: Programming-device and operator-panel communication is supported.
- S7 Services: HARDNET-PB S7 provides the S7 communication interface.
- FDL Services: The FDL interface supplies SEND/RECEIVE functions.
- Direct Processing: FastLogic executes selected DP data handling on the card.
Commissioning and state visibility
- Indicators: Board LEDs report communication and operating conditions.
- Configuration: The supplied tool assigns the two PROFIBUS roles.
- Diagnostics: PC-based diagnostics can inspect the interfaces during commissioning.
- Event Handling: Filter and event functions flag relevant data changes to the host.
