More Information

Overview Manuals PCIe Host PROFIBUS Driver Setup Diagnostics

Features:

  • A PCI Express x1 interface connects the communications processor to its host computer.
  • One isolated nine-pin RS485 port supports PROFIBUS and MPI communication.
  • The driver, application access point, and bus parameters must agree before online access works.
Siemens 6GK1562-2AA00 moves PROFIBUS or MPI telegrams between PC software and one fieldbus segment.

The isolated RS485 interface of 6GK1562-2AA00 is electrically separated from the host-side path.

Driver recognition and fieldbus diagnostics are independent checks for 6GK1562-2AA00.

The Siemens 6GK1562-2AA00 SIMATIC NET CP 5622 PCI Express PROFIBUS/MPI Communications Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

All prices are shown in USD.

Computer-Side Data Path

  • Slot interface: The x1 PCI Express connector transfers data and control information to the host.
  • Host power: The card receives its documented 3.3 V and 12 V rails through the slot.
  • Hardware detection: The operating system must enumerate the card before a communication driver can bind to it.
  • Resource check: Driver diagnostics separate host installation problems from external bus faults.

RS485 Fieldbus Path

  • Connector: The nine-pin Sub-D socket provides the isolated RS485 network interface.
  • Network mode: The configured application selects PROFIBUS or MPI operation and the corresponding parameters.
  • Bus rate: All stations on the segment must use the same supported transmission rate.
  • Physical layer: Cable, shield, connectors, address, and end termination determine reliable bus communication.

Software-to-Card Assignment

  • Driver package: The installed SIMATIC NET components must support the host operating-system architecture.
  • Access point: Engineering or runtime software must reference the interface assigned to this card.
  • Interface parameters: Network type, local address, and rate must match the connected segment.
  • Service restart: After installation or configuration changes, verify the driver service and card status before opening the project.

Host and Bus Fault Isolation

  • No hardware: Check PCIe seating, slot support, host power, firmware recognition, and operating-system enumeration.
  • No driver: Check the supported driver package, device state, permissions, and application access-point assignment.
  • No bus access: Check the RS485 connector, address, rate, termination, cable, and active stations.
  • Intermittent access: Review shielding, connector seating, reflections, duplicate addresses, and diagnostic counters.
Description
Siemens 6GK1562-2AA00 is a SIMATIC NET CP 5622 communications processor that adds one electrically isolated PROFIBUS or MPI interface to a PC or programming device. Its PCI Express x1 host connection transfers telegram data between the computer software stack and the fieldbus controller on the card.

The nine-pin Sub-D socket of 6GK1562-2AA00 carries the RS485 bus connection across the documented rate range from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s. The isolated fieldbus circuit separates the external PROFIBUS or MPI segment from the host-side PCI Express electronics.

Host power for 6GK1562-2AA00 is supplied through the PCI Express slot at 3.3 V and 12 V. The card's internal controller exchanges telegrams with the PC through the x1 link while the Sub-D interface handles the electrical bus signals.

The SIMATIC NET driver for 6GK1562-2AA00 exposes the fieldbus interface to 32-bit or 64-bit operating-system software through an application access point. Host recognition, driver communication, and RS485 bus activity therefore form separate functional layers between the engineering application and the connected station.

Technical notes
The PCI Express driver path and the isolated RS485 fieldbus path are separate diagnostic layers on Siemens 6GK1562-2AA00.

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 6GK1562-2AA00 not detected after installation in the PC?
Check the 6GK1562-2AA00 PCI Express seating, supported slot, host power, BIOS or device enumeration, operating system, and installed SIMATIC NET driver.
Why can engineering software see 6GK1562-2AA00 but not reach a PLC?
Verify the 6GK1562-2AA00 application access point, PROFIBUS or MPI mode, local address, bus rate, connector, cable, termination, and target address.
How can a driver fault be separated from a PROFIBUS fault on 6GK1562-2AA00?
Confirm that 6GK1562-2AA00 appears healthy in the host and driver diagnostics before testing its RS485 cable, bus parameters, termination, and stations.
Why is communication through 6GK1562-2AA00 intermittent at higher bus rates?
Inspect the 6GK1562-2AA00 connector, PROFIBUS cable type, shielding, segment length, stub lines, termination power, duplicate addresses, and rate setting.
What should be recorded before moving 6GK1562-2AA00 to another computer?
Record the 6GK1562-2AA00 driver version, operating-system architecture, application access point, network mode, local address, rate, and bus connector arrangement.
Why does 6GK1562-2AA00 work in MPI mode but not on PROFIBUS?
The 6GK1562-2AA00 PROFIBUS segment may use different rate, addressing, cabling, termination, and application settings, so verify the complete bus configuration.
