Siemens 6GK1161-6AA01 — COMMUNICATION PROCESSOR CP 1616 PCI-CARD (32 BIT; 33/66MHZ; 3.3/5V) WITH ASIC ERTEC

The 6GK1161-6AA01 Communication Processor CP 1616 is a PCI card designed for connecting to PROFINET IO networks. It is equipped with a 32-bit interface and supports both 33MHz and 66MHz bus speeds. The card can operate at either 3.3V or 5V power levels.

One of the key features of the CP 1616 is its integration of the ERTEC 400 ASIC, which enables seamless communication with PROFINET IO devices. The ERTEC 400 provides a reliable and efficient communication channel for exchanging data between the CP 1616 and other network devices.

To facilitate easy connection to a PROFINET IO network, the CP 1616 comes with a 4-port real-time switch that utilizes RJ45 connectors. The switch allows for high-speed data transmission and ensures real-time communication between the CP 1616 and connected devices.

For development purposes, Siemens provides the DK-16XX PN IO Development Kit. This kit includes all the necessary tools and resources for programming and testing the CP 1616 PCI card. It allows developers to create custom applications and configure the communication settings of the CP 1616 according to their specific requirements.
