- Description
The Siemens 6GK1162-3AA00 CP 1623 is a PCI Express x1 communication processor card that connects a PC station to Industrial Ethernet at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s through its onboard 2-port RJ45 switch. It supports S7 communication, open communication via SEND/RECEIVE, and PROFINET CBA, and up to 4 of these cards can be installed in a single PC station.

Selection Notes
Four CP 1623 cards can run in one PC station, so a system needing more than 120 S7 connections or more Industrial Ethernet segments scales by adding cards rather than switching to a different processor. The onboard 2-port switch lets the card sit inline on a ring or line topology without a separate external switch, and PROFINET CBA support (up to 10,000 connections total) makes it the fit for PC-based component-based automation rather than pure S7/open communication setups.
