Features:
- A PC/104 Plus card adds PROFINET IO controller services to an embedded computer.
- An ERTEC 400 and four-port real-time switch connect host software with Ethernet devices.
- Ribbon-cable, connection-board, power, LED, driver, and project details complete the installed path.
The host application exchanges cyclic IO data through the communication processor.
The real-time switch forwards frames to four RJ45 ports on the connection board.
Driver and controller settings tie the physical card to PROFINET names and addresses.
The Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 CP 1604 PROFINET Communication Processor may remain available for quotation and support beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

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.
Connecting the communication processor to the embedded PC
- Card interface: The processor plugs into the 32-bit PC/104 Plus bus.
- Bus clock: The host transfer operates at the supported 33 or 66 MHz rate.
- Voltage level: The card accepts the documented 3.3 V or 5 V host signaling.
- Driver path: PC software uses the installed driver to exchange data with the ERTEC processor.
Forwarding PROFINET traffic through the external board
- Ribbon link: A 40-pin cable connects the processor card to the RJ45 board.
- Four ports: Each RJ45 connection carries 10/100 Mbit/s Industrial Ethernet.
- Switch fabric: The integrated real-time switch forwards cyclic and ordinary Ethernet frames.
- Link state: Port LEDs distinguish established links from traffic and bus-fault conditions.
Supplying the card and its connection hardware
- Host rail: The PC backplane can supply the required 5 V DC.
- External option: A separate 5 V source can feed the documented power board.
- LED circuit: External indicators remain below the 9 mA output boundary.
- Single-card rule: Parallel installation of multiple CP 1604 cards is not permitted.
Restoring the software identity around the hardware
- PC image: The operating system, driver, and communication stack remain archived together.
- PROFINET names: Every IO device keeps the configured device name and network address.
- Controller project: Module assignments and cyclic data areas match the installed plant.
- Acceptance test: Port links, device state, and cyclic IO are verified after replacement.
