Note

As of STEP 7 V5.3 SP3, the CP 1616 is part of the hardware library.

If you want to operate the CP 1616 with an earlier version of STEP 7, you can install an HSP update.

You will find information on this in the online help of STEP 7 under the keyword “Hardware update”.

Introduction

The CP 1616 is a PCI module for connecting PCs and SIMATIC PGs/PCs to

PROFINET IO.

Its essential characteristics are:

SOptimized for PROFINET IO

SWith Ethernet real- time ASIC ERTEC 400

S4 x RJ- 45 ports

SIntegrated 4- port real- time switch

(If used with an external power supply, the integrated real- time switch can also operate when the PC is turned off.)

SRelieves the PC due to event mechanisms (automatic detection of data changes)

SAutomatic hardware detection is supported

SExtensive diagnostics options

The chapter describes the configuration of the CP 1616 for the following three use cases:

SIO controller

SIO device

SIO controller and device at the same time
