More Information

Overview Manuals Host Bus Path Real-Time Ports Power Arrangement Project Recovery

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).
Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 CP 1604 PROFINET Communication 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.

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.
Description
Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 is the CP 1604 communications processor for PC-based SIMATIC NET systems. The PC/104 Plus card gives an embedded computer a PROFINET IO controller interface through an ERTEC 400 processor and an external four-port real-time Ethernet connection board.

Frames handled by 6GK1160-4AA01 pass between the host application and four 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports through the integrated real-time switch. This path lets the PC exchange cyclic IO data with PROFINET devices while the switch forwards traffic across the connected network segments.

The PC/104 Plus interface of 6GK1160-4AA01 transfers data over a 32-bit host bus at 33 or 66 MHz and supplies the card from the 5 V rail. A separate connection board brings out the Ethernet ports, while its ribbon cable, optional power board, and LED connector define the boundary between the processor card and external wiring.

Status and bus-fault indications from 6GK1160-4AA01 relate PC operation, link activity, and PROFINET communication to the affected connector or network path. Driver, firmware, controller configuration, device names, and IP settings must therefore remain aligned with the installed PC image.

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 does Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 power up without showing the four Ethernet links?
Check Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 host seating, 5 V supply, 40-pin ribbon cable, RJ45 connection board, port cables, remote links, driver state, and LED wiring.
Can 6GK1160-4AA01 be installed twice in the same PC?
No. The operating instructions for 6GK1160-4AA01 state that parallel operation of multiple CP 1604 or CP 1616 processors in one PC is not permitted.
What software information belongs with a spare Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01?
Keep the Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 PC image, driver version, PROFINET controller project, device names, IP plan, firmware level, and application runtime.
How is external power used with 6GK1160-4AA01?
A documented optional power board can provide 5 V DC to 6GK1160-4AA01 and the connection hardware when the intended PC supply arrangement requires it.
Why can Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 see devices but fail to exchange cyclic IO?
Compare Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 device names, IP addresses, controller assignment, module configuration, expected data lengths, application state, and device diagnostics.
