Siemens 6GK1160-4AA01 Communications Processor

Siemens CP 1604 PC/104 Plus communications processor, model 6GK1160-4AA01, is a 32‑bit PC/104 Plus card that serves as a dedicated communications processor for SIMATIC NET. It operates on a 33/66 MHz bus with 3.3/5 V signaling and uses the ERTEC 400 ASIC to provide PROFINET IO connectivity, including a four‑port real‑time switch for low‑latency data exchange. Designed for embedded PC environments, this CP 1604 card bridges a host PC/104 system to PROFINET IO networks and supports integration with the DK-16XX PN IO development kit and the NCM PC for configuration and testing within SIMATIC NET installations. The device delivers 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connectivity for industrial automation communications, enabling reliable interchange between controllers and PROFINET IO devices in factory setups.
