More Information

Overview Manuals Host Data Path Controller Mode Device Mode Four-Port Topology

Features:

  • The CP 1616 performs PROFINET IO controller or device communication for a host PC.
  • Four RJ45 ports form an integrated 100 Mbit/s real-time switch.
  • ERTEC 400 hardware handles scheduled network traffic before data reaches the PCI host.
Controller mode maps assigned field devices into the PC application data area.

Device mode exposes configured submodules to an external PROFINET controller.

Board driver, station configuration, and application access point complete the host-side path.

The Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 SIMATIC NET CP 1616 PROFINET PCI Communication Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 CP 1616 PROFINET 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 PCI application memory with PROFINET process data

  • PCI exchange: The board transfers configured data areas to and from the host application.
  • ERTEC processing: The communication ASIC handles real-time frame scheduling and switching.
  • Driver layer: The installed board software exposes the CP services to the operating system.
  • Application access: The configured PC station binds the software process to the intended interface.

Managing cyclic data for assigned PROFINET devices

  • Device ownership: The CP establishes controller relationships with the configured IO devices.
  • Input collection: Device input areas are transferred into the host-side controller image.
  • Output delivery: Application output data is sent to the assigned device modules.
  • IRT subset: Scheduled devices follow the topology and timing defined in the project.

Presenting the PC card to an external controller

  • Submodule layout: Configured submodules define the data structure seen by the controller.
  • Input direction: PC application data is exposed as input data to the external controller.
  • Output direction: Controller output data enters the PC through the configured device image.
  • Role boundary: Controller ownership remains external while the CP represents the PC station.

Using the integrated switch without losing port identity

  • RJ45 paths: Four 100 Mbit/s connections attach the local PROFINET stations.
  • Frame forwarding: The integrated switch directs traffic between host and network ports.
  • Topology records: LLDP and engineering data associate each link with its physical port.
  • Fault location: Per-port link state separates a cable problem from a PCI or configuration fault.
Description
Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 is the SIMATIC NET CP 1616 PCI communication processor that equips a host PC with PROFINET IO controller and device functions. Its ERTEC 400 communication hardware processes real-time network traffic while the PCI interface exchanges configured process data with the PC application.

Four RJ45 ports on 6GK1161-6AA01 form an integrated real-time switch, so multiple PROFINET stations can connect without a separate local switch. Port topology, device names, and IRT configuration determine how the communication path is represented in the engineering project.

When 6GK1161-6AA01 operates as an IO controller, it manages the assigned devices and transfers their input and output areas to the host. In IO-device mode, the card instead presents its configured submodules and data areas to an external controller, so the selected role changes which system owns the cyclic exchange.

The PCI backplane normally powers 6GK1161-6AA01, while the documented external supply option supports the board under its specified arrangement. Driver installation, station configuration, and application access must be restored together because successful PCI detection alone does not establish PROFINET data exchange.

Technical notes
Before commissioning Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01, verify the PCI slot, board driver, PROFINET role, device name, I/O map, and four-port topology.

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 can a PC detect Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 while PROFINET data remains inactive?
Check the Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 driver, PC-station assignment, device name, selected role, I/O map, and application access point.
How does controller mode differ from device mode on 6GK1161-6AA01?
In controller mode 6GK1161-6AA01 owns configured IO devices; in device mode it presents PC data to an external PROFINET controller.
What should be archived before moving Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 to another PC?
Save the Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 board driver, station configuration, role, device name, topology, I/O map, and application settings.
Can the four ports of 6GK1161-6AA01 replace a separate local switch?
The integrated switch on 6GK1161-6AA01 directly connects supported local PROFINET stations, subject to the engineered topology and port requirements.
Which PCI details must be checked for 6GK1161-6AA01?
The 6GK1161-6AA01 requires a compatible 32-bit 33/66 MHz PCI slot with the documented 3.3/5 V universal-key arrangement.
Is successor 6GK1161-6AA02 automatically identical to 6GK1161-6AA01?
No. Verify 6GK1161-6AA01 host-slot, driver, firmware, PROFINET role, and project requirements before adopting a successor.
