Communications processors for PG/PC

PCs play an important role in industrial communications. Combined with real-time applications, they form an ideal platform for visualization. In connection with SoftControl software, your PC can take on communication tasks where the only solution used to be a PLC.

SIMATIC NET PC communications processors offer the following advantages:

CPs for PCI and PCI Express format
They can be used flexibly depending on the required resources on the PC: CPs with or without their own microprocessor.
Easy to integrate in the system environment and Office applications thanks to open and standardized interfaces

CP 1623: CP with its own microprocessor for applications with high data rates

Product picture

The intelligent PCI Express card with integral 2-port switch enables connection of PCI-Express-based systems to Industrial Ethernet. High computing performance is available in the PC thanks to offloading of the host CPU. Constant and stable data throughput is guaranteed by protocol execution on the CP. Designed for use in large network configurations.

CP 1613 A2: CP with integrated microprocessor

Product picture

The PCI board for a wide range of applications and redundant communications. Also recommended for applications with HMI systems requiring high performance.

CP 1616: CP with integrated microprocessor and Real-Time functionality

Product picture

The PCI board CP 1616 with integrated ASIC ERTEC 400 and a 4-port real-time switch lets you connect the PG/PC to PROFINET IO. For easy solutions to high-performance controller tasks on your PC (such as PC based Control, Numeric Control, Robot Control). The hardware is designed for IRT capabilities.

CP 1604: CP with separate microprocessor and real-time functionality in PC/104 Plus format

Product picture

The PC/104-plus card with integrated ASIC ERTEC 400 and 4-port real-time switch permits the connection of PC/104-based systems to PROFINET.
