Product Description
It combines a hardened ISO protocol (ASIC) with a TCP/IP software stack and supports ISO system redundancy (RCW) to two S7-400H CP443-1 controllers with automatic switchover. Up to 120 S7/PG connections and 40 optimized S7 connections are handled on a single half-length PCI card. Configuration is done in STEP 7 / NCM PC / PCS 7 with the SIMATIC NET software (CD V6.2 SP1 or higher). The Siemens 6GK1161-3AA01 is the CP 1613 A2, a PCI communication processor that connects a PG/PC to Industrial Ethernet at 10/100 Mbit/s for SIMATIC S7 and PCS 7 communication.

Technical Specifications
Version & Model Difference
The 6GK1161-3AA01 (CP 1613 A2) is the later 'A2' revision; the original 6GK1161-3AA00 only works with SIMATIC NET CD before V6.2 SP1 and is not recognized by newer software. Both are PCI cards. The modern replacement is the CP 1623 (6GK1162-3AA00, PCIe) or CP 1628 (PCIe, PCS 7), which keep software configuration compatible.
Application Scenarios
- Connecting engineering PG/PC to SIMATIC S7-400H redundant systems
- PCS 7 operator station communication over Industrial Ethernet
- Industrial networking where ISO system redundancy is required
- Legacy PG/PC with PCI slots needing 100 Mbit/s S7 communication

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CP 1613 A2 and the original CP 1613?
The A2 (6GK1161-3AA01) is recognized by SIMATIC NET CD V6.2 SP1 and later; the original 6GK1161-3AA00 is only supported by older SIMATIC NET versions.
Which software is required?
Communication needs the SIMATIC NET software (HARDNET-IE S7 / S7-1613). For S7-400H redundancy you additionally need S7-REDCONNECT; for PROFINET CBA you need the PN CBA OPC server.
Can it connect to S7-400H redundant controllers?
Yes. The CP 1613 A2 supports ISO system redundancy (RCW) and automatically switches between two CP 443-1 controllers in an S7-400H system.
What is the modern replacement?
Use the CP 1623 (6GK1162-3AA00, PCIe) or CP 1628 (PCIe, PCS 7) on modern PG/PCs; software configuration is compatible but the slot type changes from PCI to PCIe.
