Description

The CP 5614 A2 is a PCI card (Universal Key 5V/3.3V) with microprocessor that enables a SIMATIC PG/PC and PCs with PCI slot to be connected to PROFIBUS up to 12 Mbit/s. The CP can be either a DP master or a DP slave. Two different PROFIBUS networks can then be connected in a hierarchic structure to a PC with a PROFIBUS card and data can be transferred between the two. With the CP 5614 A2 high-performance control tasks are supported on the PC. The card is used in computer platforms with a PCI connection system, e.g. IPC, desktop PCs or server systems.

Properties

Benefits

One slot for DP master and DP slave
two PROFIBUS networks can be operated with different PROFIBUS bus parameters because they are independent of each other
Fast process data exchange
access to process data by means of direct access to the dual port RAM of the hardware
High computing performance in the PG/PC
reduces workload of host CPU by preprocessing the communication on the hardware
Use of different operating system environments
driver as source code for porting to different operating system environments
Use also in motion control applications
real-time capable data exchange through constant bus cycle time
Fast commissioning
easy installation and commissioning due to plug & play technology
