The CP 5614 A3 supports the connection of a SIMATIC PG/PC and PCs with PCI slot to PROFIBUS. It can be either a DP master or a DP slave.

Two different PROFIBUS networks can then be connected in a hierarchic structure on a PC with a PROFIBUS card and data can be transferred between the two.

The CP 5614 A3 provides high-performance support for control tasks on the PC (PC based Control, Numeric Control, Robot Control).
