Hardware Installation - Siemens SIMATIC NET CP 1613 A2 Operating Instructions Manual

Hardware installation

Number of permitted communications processors
Note
A maximum of four CP 1613 A2 modules can be operated in a PC/PG at the same time.
Take into account the technical specifications of the power supply for the PCI slots of the
PG/PC.
Notes on the AUI and TP sockets
Note
Always use either the AUI or the TP socket. Both sockets must not be operated at the same
time.
Note
If you change from the AUI to the TP socket (or vice versa) during ongoing operation, it is
possible that the changeover will not be detected. We recommend that you only change from
one socket to the other when the device is turned off.
Transceiver power supply
Note
The CP 1613 A2 provides a voltage of 12 V to supply a transceiver on its AUI interface. The
maximum load for this is a permanent current of 500 mA!
AUI cable
Note
The CP 1613 A2 has 2 sockets for connecting network cables. If you use the AUI interface
for the AUI transceiver cable, breaks of 2 to 3 seconds can occur sporadically in
communication. To avoid problems due to this, do not set timeouts for this mode to less than
5 seconds!
