SIEMENS CP 5613 A2/CP 5614 A2 Communication Processor

Some chassis designs may allow for module tilt installation, which is allowed.

Close the chassis and reconnect the power supply.

Compatibility and Replacement:

Each PG/PC supports the installation of up to 4 communication processors, of which up to 2 can be in 'configured' mode.

CP 5613 A2/CP 5614 A2 can directly replace the old models CP 5613/CP 5614. When replacing, the old module needs to be physically removed first. If the new module uses the configuration of the old module, the configuration data needs to be downloaded again. Special note: The DP slave configuration of CP 5613 A2 cannot be directly downloaded to CP 5614 A2, otherwise the slave function will not work properly.

Software installation and driver management

Software is the soul that drives hardware. The drivers for two communication processors are integrated into the SIMATIC NET PC software package.

Software installation sequence: It is strongly recommended to follow the principle of "software first, hardware later". Before inserting the communication processor card, "SIMATIC NET PC Software" (version 11/2003 or higher) or the corresponding development toolkit should be installed on the operating system.

Driver installation: After the hardware is installed and powered on, Windows' plug and play feature will automatically detect new hardware. The user should follow the hardware wizard, manually specify the driver location (point to the installed SIMATIC NET software directory), and uncheck the "Search for drivers on the Internet" option to ensure that the correct local driver is installed.

Alternative software: In addition to the complete SIMATIC NET PC software, users can also use software packages such as STEP 7 (V5.5 or higher) or STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal V11 or higher) to operate the communication processor.

Uninstalling: Uninstalling the driver is equivalent to uninstalling the entire SIMATIC NET PC software package. You need to use the program uninstallation function in the control panel or use the software's built-in uninstallation program to follow the instructions in the installation manual.

Configuration Guide

The communication processor must be correctly configured in the configuration software before it can be put into network communication. The main configuration tools are STEP 7 or SIMATIC NCM PC. The detailed configuration process (such as setting station addresses, selecting protocols, allocating I/O data, etc.) should refer to the independent "Commissioning PC Stations" configuration manual (entry ID: 13542666). The core of configuration is to define CP as DP master or slave based on network planning, and establish logical connections with other devices on the network.

LED status indication and diagnosis

The dual color LED on the panel is an important diagnostic tool, with the following meanings:

Green constantly on (DP master station): The token cycle is normal and the bus is running normally.

Green off (DP master station): Bus parameter error, bus fault, or CP not running.

Green 1-second interval flashing (DP master station): Database error.

Green and yellow flashing alternately: currently being accessed by diagnostic tools to check installation.

Yellow constantly on (DP slave): Polling by upper level DP master, running normally.

Yellow off (DP slave): not addressed by the master station.

Red flashing rapidly: module not started (normal state after reset).

Green and yellow synchronous flashing: firmware error (abnormal state).

By observing the LED status, the working status of the communication processor can be quickly determined and faults can be preliminarily located.

Detailed technical specifications

The two processors have a compact design (107x18x168 mm) and weigh approximately 105g (CP 5613 A2) and 120g (CP 5614 A2). The core specifications are as follows:

Electrical characteristics: Operates at 5V DC safe extra low voltage (SELV), with a typical power consumption of 0.8A for CP 5613 A2 and 0.9A for CP 5614 A2.

Interface: PCI V2.2 interface, supports 3.3V/5V, 32/64 bits, 33/66 MHz. The PROFIBUS interface is a 9-pin D-Sub and adopts a floating RS-485 design (signal isolation). It is recommended to use specialized bus connectors such as Siemens 6GK1 500-0EA01.

Environmental adaptability:

Working temperature: Complies with DIN EN 60068-2 series standards.

Storage/transportation temperature: -40 ° C to+70 ° C.

Humidity: up to 85% @ 30 ° C during operation (no condensation).

Vibration and impact resistance: meets the industrial environment requirements of DIN EN 60068-2-6 (vibration) and -2-27 (impact).

Electromagnetic compatibility:

Emission: Compliant with EN 55022/FCC Class B.

Immunity: Signal line surge immunity ± 2kV, electrostatic discharge immunity ± 6kV, RF field immunity 10V/m (80MHz-2GHz).

Certification and Compliance

CP 5613 A2 and CP 5614 A2 have obtained authoritative certifications in multiple regions around the world, ensuring their compliance with strict safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards:

EU CE Mark: Compliant with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, suitable for industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4/-6-2) and residential/commercial environments (EN 61000-6-3/-6-1). Its conformity statement can be found on the product support website (entry ID: 63367995). This product itself does not fall within the scope of mechanical instructions.
