Product Description

The Siemens 6GK1105-2AC10 is an interface module designed to allow industrial PCs (IPCs), personal computers (PCs), or programming devices (PGs) to connect to and communicate over the SINEC L2 and PROFIBUS industrial network protocols.

• Type: Communications Interface Module / Network Interface Card (NIC).

• Designation: SINEC L2/H1 Interface for PC/PG.

• Function: It acts as a dedicated communication processor, offloading the communication tasks from the PC’s CPU. This allows the PC/PG to perform high-speed data exchange with devices on the PROFIBUS DP or SINEC L2 network.

• Connection: It is designed to be installed in a PC’s PCI expansion slot (hence the “PC interface”).

• Key Protocols: It primarily supports the PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Periphery) protocol, enabling high-speed I/O data exchange, as well as the older SINEC L2 protocol.

Product Specifications

Product Advantages

• High Performance and Offloading: As a dedicated processor card, it significantly relieves the main PC CPU from handling complex, time-critical PROFIBUS communication tasks, ensuring reliable and fast data exchange.

• Protocol Diversity: It supports critical industrial protocols like PROFIBUS DP, making it a versatile tool for connecting to a wide range of Siemens and third-party field devices.

• Master and Slave Capability: It can be configured to operate as a PROFIBUS DP Master (controlling field devices) or a PROFIBUS DP Slave (exchanging data with a higher-level PLC).

• Programming/Diagnostics Tool: It allows a standard PC/PG to be used directly as a powerful programming and diagnostics station (using software like STEP 7) for all connected PROFIBUS devices and PLCs.

• Reliability: Designed for industrial environments, these cards offer robust communication connections crucial for critical control applications.

Precautions

• PC Compatibility: Ensure the host PC has a compatible PCI slot and that the card’s voltage and physical dimensions fit the chassis. (Note: This is an older product; modern PCs often use PCIe slots).

• Driver Installation: The card requires the specific SIMATIC NET driver software to be correctly installed and configured in the host operating system before it can communicate.

• Protocol Configuration: The PROFIBUS address and baud rate settings must precisely match the network it is connected to, usually configured via the SIMATIC NET Configuration Console.

• Termination: Proper PROFIBUS network termination is critical for reliable communication, especially at the beginning and end of the cable segment.

• Power Down: Always power down the PC before inserting or removing the PCI card to prevent damage to the module and the PC.

Product Applications

The 6GK1105-2AC10 is mainly used in industrial settings where direct, high-speed access to the PROFIBUS network is required from a desktop or portable computer.

• Programming and Commissioning:

  • Using a Programming Device (PG) running Siemens STEP 7 to download programs, diagnose faults, and set up parameters for SIMATIC PLCs (S7-300/400) connected to PROFIBUS.

• Operator Control and Monitoring (HMI/SCADA):

  • Serving as the communication interface for a PC-based HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to exchange real-time data with PLCs and field devices on the PROFIBUS network.

• Data Logging and Gateway:

  • Enabling a PC to collect vast amounts of production data from field devices for analysis, archiving, or transferring data to higher-level IT systems.

• Factory Test Systems:

  • Used in manufacturing test benches where a PC needs to rapidly command and monitor industrial equipment via PROFIBUS DP.
