More Information

Overview Manuals PCI Host Path Physical Network Connection Pools Driver Recovery

Features:

  • The CP 1613 A2 offloads Industrial Ethernet communication from the host PC.
  • A universal-key 32-bit PCI interface carries host data and board power.
  • RJ45 and ITP connectors provide two physical media options for the network path.
HARDNET-IE software maps application services to the communication processor.

S7, PG and open communication connections use separately documented resource groups.

SNMP and DCP provide management and network-identification functions.

The Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01 SIMATIC NET CP 1613 A2 PCI Communication Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01 CP 1613 A2 PCI 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.

Linking PC applications to the communication processor

  • PCI edge: The board uses the supported 32-bit host slot for power and data.
  • Voltage key: The universal connector accepts the documented 3.3 V or 5 V signaling environment.
  • Driver layer: HARDNET-IE software exposes the CP services to host applications.
  • Resource handoff: Application requests are processed on the board before network transfer.

Selecting the connector that matches the installed Ethernet medium

  • RJ45 port: Twisted-pair Industrial Ethernet uses the documented modular connector.
  • ITP interface: The 15-pin connector serves the supported ITP cabling system.
  • Shared processor: Both media options belong to the same CP communication resources.
  • Link check: Cable type, rate and network partner must agree before traffic is expected.

Assigning communication resources by service type

  • S7 services: Configured automation connections exchange data with supported S7 partners.
  • PG access: Engineering communication uses its documented connection resources.
  • SEND/RECEIVE: Open communication jobs use the separate connection pool.
  • Optimized S7: High-performance S7 connections remain within their stated limit.

Rebuilding the PC-side communication configuration

  • Board identity: The operating system must detect the exact CP 1613 A2 hardware.
  • Software package: The installed HARDNET-IE version provides the required driver and interfaces.
  • Network parameters: The saved station configuration restores the intended addresses and connections.
  • Application test: A verified partner exchange confirms the host, driver and network path together.
Description
Installed in a supported PC, Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01 is a SIMATIC NET CP 1613 A2 PCI communication processor that offloads Industrial Ethernet communication from the host. Its onboard processing supports the documented S7, PG and open communication services while the PCI bus transfers application data to the computer.

The universal-key PCI edge of 6GK1161-3AA01 fits supported 3.3 V or 5 V signaling slots operating at the documented bus rates. Power and host data enter through that connector, so slot compatibility and driver installation must be established before the network ports can be commissioned.

Network access on 6GK1161-3AA01 is divided between the RJ45 Industrial Ethernet connector and the legacy ITP connector. Both belong to the same communication processor, and the selected cable path must match the physical network rather than being connected as two independent Ethernet channels.

HARDNET-IE software assigns connections and protocol services to 6GK1161-3AA01, while SNMP and DCP expose the documented management functions. Connection counts apply to their service groups, so the project should allocate resources by communication type instead of treating every limit as one combined pool.

Technical notes
Install Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01 only in a compatible PCI slot, then match the HARDNET-IE driver, assigned network parameters and selected RJ45 or ITP connection.

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.
Which PC slot requirements matter for Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01?
Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01 needs a supported 32-bit PCI slot with documented 3.3 V or 5 V signaling and an available bracket position.
Why is 6GK1161-3AA01 visible in the PC but absent from the communication application?
Check the 6GK1161-3AA01 HARDNET-IE driver, station configuration and assigned application access point after confirming PCI detection.
Should both network connectors be cabled on 6GK1161-3AA01?
No. Select the 6GK1161-3AA01 RJ45 or ITP connection that matches the installed physical network and documented topology.
How are S7 and SEND/RECEIVE limits applied on 6GK1161-3AA01?
6GK1161-3AA01 allocates connection resources by service group, so S7 and SEND/RECEIVE counts are not one interchangeable total.
What must be saved before moving 6GK1161-3AA01 to another PC?
Retain the 6GK1161-3AA01 HARDNET-IE package, station configuration, network parameters and application connection settings.
Can a generic Ethernet adapter replace 6GK1161-3AA01?
Not by default. 6GK1161-3AA01 provides Siemens communication processing and HARDNET-IE services beyond a generic PC network interface.
