3.2 Hardware compatibility
Compatibility with other communications processors
The CP 5711 can replace a CP 5512.
Note
• USB module
Please note: The CP 5711 is a USB module. A CP 5512, on the other hand, is connected
via a CardBus interface. This means that you can only replace a CP 5512 with a CP 5711
if there is a USB connector available on the PG/PC.
• If the CP 5512 has been removed from the PG/PC, no configuration changes need to be
made
You can adopt the configuration of the CP 5512. To do this, you simply need to reload the
configuration.
Note the following: When loading the CP 5512 configuration, the CP 5512 has priority
over a CP 5711. As long as a CP 5512 is connected, its configuration cannot be adopted
by a CP 5711. You should therefore remove the CP 5512 from your PC/PG.
Procedure for replacement
To replace a configured, connected CP 5512 with a CP 5711, follow the steps below:
1. Delete the configured CP 5512 from the "Station Configuration Editor".
2. Remove the CP 5512 hardware from the PG/PC.
3. Restart your PG/PC.
Note
Note that you need to have installed at least SIMATIC NET PC Software Edition 2008
including SP1 to be able to operate the CP5711.
4. Connect the CP 5711 to the PG/PC.
The plug and play function of Windows automatically searches for a driver.
5. Follow the instructions of the Hardware Wizard of Windows.
Do not activate the search for drivers on the Internet.
6. Download the CP 5512 configuration.
