Hi,

I`m looking for purchase a CP5611 (6GK1561-1AA01). Siemens has stopped selling it, only if you have already they can sell it as spare parts.

Do you know about company I can purchase from, It doesn't need to be new, it can be refurbished and tested.

Thank you for taking time looking into these.

Hello,

why you don't use the successor 

6GK1561-2AA00

Regards
Christoph

Hello,

look to eBay or other similar site.

The mainboard we need to use are not supporting PCI-X...

Will take a look at ebay, thank you all.

Hello,

the sucessor of the CP5611 A2 is the CP5621 and support the PCI Slot, so why not use this CP?

Regards

Christoph

Hi,

My understanding these is PCI EXPRESS X1-CARD, and my mainboard are not supporting that,

Maybe I have misunderstood something here? We have tested CP5612 and it dident workout with these mainboard.

Hello,

sorry i mean CP5612.

CP5611 / CP5611 A2  = PCI, no longer available

CP5612 = PCI, successor of the CP5611

in this FAQ you find the supported Slots for CP's:

Which Mainboard do you use? Can it be that no driver was installed for the CP5612 CP?

Regards

Christoph

I have tested 5612, bios don`t want to start... tried differnet mainboard also.
The conclusion is mainboard are not supporting PCI-X.

Thank you for taking time looking into is.

Have found one in ebay now... hehe

Hello;

Here is the technical datasheet of the CP 5612, recommended by ChristophD earlier:

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/pd/451771?pdti=td&lc=en-FR

It states that the module format is PCI. 

The same information is found in the operating instructions for this CP:

SIMATIC NET PG/PC - PROFIBUS CP 5612 Operating Instructions

Hope this helps,
