Features:
- The CP 5612 provides a conventional PCI interface between a PG or PC and PROFIBUS/MPI, supporting network rates from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s.
- Siemens specifies 3.3 V and 12 V PCI backplane supplies with 3.5 W power loss, plus operation from 5 to 55 °C inside a suitable IP00 host enclosure.
- The product record supports compatible 32-bit and 64-bit operating-system variants, but the exact Siemens software release and driver must match the host platform.
6GK1561-2AA00 is the Siemens SIMATIC NET CP 5612 communications processor for linking a programming device or PC through the host PCI bus to PROFIBUS or MPI. The board supports transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s through 12 Mbit/s and is intended for the compatible 32-bit or 64-bit operating-system and Siemens software environment. Siemens lists 3.3 V and 12 V PCI backplane supply use with 3.5 W power loss. The communication interface and installed driver provide access for commissioning, engineering and compatible PC-based communication tasks. The board has IP00 protection and is specified for operation from 5 to 55 °C, so it must be installed inside a suitable host enclosure. Product identity should be checked using the complete 6GK1561-2AA00 number, CP 5612 designation, EAN and hardware markings. Selection also requires an available conventional PCI slot, compatible host BIOS and operating system, the correct Siemens driver package and a valid PROFIBUS or MPI network connection.

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.
The CP 5612 requires a suitable conventional PCI slot providing the documented 3.3 V and 12 V backplane supplies. Confirm slot format, host BIOS resources and enclosure conditions before installation.
Set the bus rate and station parameters to match the existing PROFIBUS or MPI segment. Use the correct cable, connector and termination arrangement for the network position.
Choose the Siemens communication software and CP 5612 driver version approved for the computer's 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Back up the station configuration before replacing the board.
