More Information

Overview Manuals Signal Pins Host Resources Card Fitting Software Scope

Features:

  • The hardware is a Plug and Play PCI card.
  • The PROFIBUS connector has screw retention.
  • Additional signals support the PLC direct link.
Operating software is supplied separately from 6GK1561-1AA01. Fitting the board establishes the hardware connection but does not itself install the communication software required by the application.

The PLC direct-link signals of 6GK1561-1AA01 have their own supported transmission-rate boundary. That function must not be assumed to operate at the maximum PROFIBUS rate.

The communication processor 6GK1561-1AA01 uses the short PCI board format. The computer housing and supported slot arrangement determine the mechanical installation, not the shape of the external PROFIBUS connector.

The Siemens 6GK1561-1AA01 CP 5611 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 6GK1561-1AA01 CP 5611 A2 PCI 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.

Distinguish data conductors from transmit-control lines

  • Bus data: LTG_B and LTG_A carry the differential receive/transmit signal pair.
  • PLC transmit: RTSAS is an input indicating when the PLC is sending on the direct link.
  • PC transmit: RTS is an output indicating when the PC or programming device is sending.
  • Shield termination: The cable shield terminates at the connector housing rather than a signal-data pin.

Resolve computer resources before fieldbus commissioning

  • Required allocation: The card needs memory windows and an interrupt to operate.
  • Startup assignment: PCI BIOS or the Plug and Play operating system assigns these resources when the computer starts.
  • BIOS conflict: A PCI network-controller resource message can indicate that the necessary resources are unavailable.
  • Legacy hardware: Resources already occupied by non-Plug-and-Play ISA boards require the relevant host hardware configuration to be corrected.

Follow the enclosure and board handling sequence

  • Isolation: Shut down the computer and disconnect its power cable before opening the enclosure.
  • ESD handling: Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching pins or electronic components.
  • Slot insertion: Insert the board firmly and evenly into a supported PCI slot.
  • Enclosure closure: Close the computer housing before reconnecting power and starting the computer.

Match the driver environment to this legacy card

  • Existing applications: The current product description limits this card to existing applications.
  • Operating-system exclusion: Windows 9x support is not provided.
  • SIMATIC NET version: The stated SIMATIC NET V8.2 support is 32-bit support, not a blanket claim for every host platform.
  • Separate selection: The computer slot, operating system and communication software must all be checked independently.
Description
The Siemens 6GK1561-1AA01 is a SIMATIC NET CP 5611 A2 communication processor that connects a PCI-equipped PG or PC to PROFIBUS or MPI. The card moves communication data between the computer backplane and its external 9-pin RS485 fieldbus socket.

Through the universal PCI interface, 6GK1561-1AA01 operates in a 32-bit 3.3 V or 5 V slot at 33 or 66 MHz. The computer backplane supplies the card with 5 V DC, while the external Sub-D connector remains the separate fieldbus side of the communication path.

With the required SOFTNET-PB package, 6GK1561-1AA01 can be configured for DP master, DP slave, S7/PG or open SEND/RECEIVE communication. The selected software role determines whether the card manages up to 64 DP slaves, eight S7/PG connections or up to 50 open-communication connections.

Only one 6GK1561-1AA01 card of this type is specified per PC station, and SIMATIC NET V8.2 support is limited to 32-bit operation. The card is identified for existing applications, so the PCI slot, operating system and communication-software version must be checked as separate selection conditions.

Technical notes
The Siemens 6GK1561-1AA01 card uses an isolated RS485 signal interface, while the connector housing provides a non-isolated cable-shield 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.
Is a PCI Express-only computer suitable for installing 6GK1561-1AA01?
A supported PCI or PCI-X slot is required for 6GK1561-1AA01; PCI Express is not the bus interface specified for this card. A matching fieldbus socket does not change the host-bus requirement.
What do the M24 and P24 labels mean on unused connector pins of 6GK1561-1AA01?
Pins 2 and 7 are not used by 6GK1561-1AA01. Although those positions can carry a 24 V supply on other MPI/DP components, they are not an external power input for this card.
May 6GK1561-1AA01 be inserted while the computer remains powered?
Insertion and removal of 6GK1561-1AA01 are permitted only with power switched off. Plug and Play describes resource configuration and does not authorize hot insertion.
Could tightening the bracket leave 6GK1561-1AA01 incorrectly seated?
Securing the metal bracket can skew 6GK1561-1AA01 in some computer housings. After fastening it, the board must still sit firmly and uniformly in the slot.
Which slot condition applies when replacing a CP 5611 with 6GK1561-1AA01?
The stated CP 5611-to-6GK1561-1AA01 changeover uses the same PCI slot and then loads the previous configuration automatically. That procedure does not establish equivalent behavior when changing slots or software environments.
