Industrial Ethernet CP 1616

The CP 1616 supports both PROFINET Real-Time RT and Isochronous Real-Time IRT (hardware is designed for real-time; firmware update to follow). IRT is especially suitable for time-critical applications which extend into the range of hard clocked control systems in motion control.

Real-Time Ethernet with ASIC ERTEC 400 inside

Product picture

Hardware-supported preprocessing of real-time communications with the ASIC ERTEC 400 increases performance dramatically.

Integrated 4-port real-time switch saves costs

Product picture

The ASICS ERTEC 400 also features a 4-port real-time switch. That enables a cost-effective solution for the line structure of large, distributed plants. The feature is also compatible with older Ethernet terminals.

External power supply ensures continued switch operation if the PC fails

Product picture

An optional external power supply guarantees switch operation even if the PC goes offline. This option is especially important for use in line topologies to prevent the failure of entire network segments.

DK-16xx PN IO development kit: easy portability to any PC- based operating system

Product picture

It is really easy to integrate into any operating system. Since all PROFINET IO functions are realized in the firmware of the CP1616, only the module driver and IO-Base software need to be imported into the operating system. The DK-16xx PN IO development kit, which you can order for free, includes the driver and the IO-Base software for the CP 1616 as PROFINET IO-controller and the IO-device under Linux in the source code including detailed directions for configuration.

Easy-to-use IO-Base programming interface

The interface for the PC application is designed as an IO-Base library. It provides all functions for C application programs to enable communications with PROFINET IO devices. The IO-Base interface provides direct access to process data when connected as the PROFINET IO controller.

CP 1616 as PROFINET IO controller and as PROFINET IO device

The CP 1616 can be used in PROFINET applications as an I/O controller and as a PROFINET I/O device.

An easy switch from PROFIBUS to PROFINET

With the CP 1616, it's really easy to switch from the PROFIBUS modules CP 5613/CP 5614 with a DP interface to PROFINET through the I/O-Base interface.
