Description

The Siemens 6GK1561-4AA01 is a SIMATIC CP 5614 A2 communications processor, designed as a PCI-bus card to provide high-performance connectivity for industrial PC-based automation systems. This module facilitates PROFIBUS communication, offering both master and slave functionality. It is equipped with a DP-RAM interface for DP master tasks and supports both PG (Programming) and FDL (Field Data Link) protocols.

The package includes the necessary DP-Base runtime software and a configuration tool, provided alongside electronic documentation in both German and English on CD-ROM. This card is intended primarily for the maintenance and support of established legacy automation systems. For deployments utilizing modern operating systems (Windows 7 and later), Siemens recommends transitioning to the successor model, the CP 5614 A3 (6GK1561-4AA02), to ensure full driver support and optimal system performance.

Features

  • PROFIBUS master and slave communication capability
  • PCI-bus interface for integration with industrial PCs
  • Supports PG and FDL protocols
  • Integrated DP-RAM interface for DP master operations
  • Includes single-installation runtime software and configuration tools
  • Provided with multi-language electronic manuals (German/English)

Applications

  • Legacy industrial PC-based automation control
  • PROFIBUS network integration for older machine architectures
  • Programming and diagnostic station connectivity for legacy S7 systems
  • Field data acquisition via FDL protocols

Installation Guidelines

  • PCI Slot: Insert the card into a standard PCI slot on the industrial PC motherboard; ensure the card is seated securely and fastened with the rear panel bracket screw.
  • Driver Compatibility: Before installation, verify that your operating system version is compatible with the drivers included on the provided media.
  • Legacy Systems: For Windows 7 and newer operating systems, please use the successor model 6GK1561-4AA02 to prevent driver-related system instability.
  • Bus Termination: When configuring the PROFIBUS network, ensure proper bus termination at the physical ends of the network segment to maintain signal integrity.
  • Grounding: Ensure the industrial PC chassis is properly grounded to prevent potential differences that could damage the PCI interface or communication circuitry.
