Overview
Introduction
The following options are available for integrating the device in existing or planned system
environments and networks.
Ethernet
Remote booting is supported.
The integrated Ethernet interface can be used for communication and for data exchange with
automation devices such as SIMATIC S7.
You require suitable software for this: STEP 7, WinCC, WinCC flexible, WinAC,
SIMATIC NET.
PROFIBUS/MPI
The isolated PROFIBUS interface can be used to connect distributed field devices or to link
with SIMATIC S7.
You require suitable software for this: STEP 7, WinCC, WinCC flexible, WinAC,
SIMATIC NET.
PROFINET
The CP 1616 onboard enables Panel PCs to be connected to Industrial Ethernet. Only one
CP 1616 can be installed in a PC. Detailed information can be found in the next section or in
the chapter
Detailed descriptions > CP 1616 onboard communications processor.
Device driver CP16xx.sys
The device driver enables the Windows network protocols to be connected to the Ethernet
PROFINET controller "CP 1616 onboard" which is optional on the SIMATIC PCs. The
PROFINET interface will act like a 100 Mbit Ethernet interface with a MAC address when
you use this driver. The three RJ45 sockets are connected with each other via a switch.
The driver and the documentation can be found in the supplied Documentation and Drivers
CD.
