Safety notices
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
When used in hazardous environments corresponding to Class I, Division 2 or Class I,
Zone 2, the device must be installed in a cabinet or a suitable enclosure.
To comply with EC Directive 94/9 (ATEX95), this enclosure must meet the requirements of
at least IP54 in compliance with EN 60529.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
If the cable or conduit entry point exceeds 70 °C or the branching point of conductors
exceeds 80 °C, special precautions must be taken. If the device is operated at an ambient
temperature of 0 °C - 60 °C, make sure that you use cables with a permitted ambient
temperature of at least 80 °C.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Take measures to prevent transient voltage surges of more than 40% of the rated voltage.
This is the case if you only operate devices with SELV (safety extra-low voltage).
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not use any parts that show evidence of damage.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHEN A FLAMMABLE OR
COMBUSTIBLE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
DO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGIZED.
Notes on parallel operation with other USB devices
Note
The use of other USB devices (for example a WebCam, bulk memory) on the PG/PC can
impair the performance of the communicat
ions processor.
Note
Removing and inserting USB devices can cause functional disruptions on the USB interface.
In extreme cases, communication via the communications processor may even be aborted
making it necessary to restart the application.
Note
•
First install the software
First install the software before you connect the communications processor to the PG/PC,
see the section Software installation (Page 13).
•
Activated plug and play function
The plug and play function must be activated in the BIOS of your PG/PC.

CP 5711
Operating Instructions, 02/2018, C79000-G8976-C283-05 17
Permitted number of communications processors in the PG/PC
The driver software supports a maximum of 1 CP 5711 per PG/PC.
Connecting to the PG/PC
Before you connect the communications processor to your PG/PC, note the following
information:
USB cable
To connect the communications processor, use only the supplied USB cable or another USB
cable suitable for industrial use.
USB connection to PG/PC
To achieve the guaranteed configuration limits with all protocols and at all bus transmission
speeds, you should use at least a USB 2.0 high-speed connector.
You should preferably use the USB connectors located at the back of the housing of your
PG/PC. The front USB connectors usually have a lower signal quality.
We recommend that you do not use any additional USB hubs.
Removing the CP 5711
Delete existing configurations before you disconnect the communications processor from
your PG/PC.
You must also log off the communications processor reliably before you disconnect the
communications processor from the PG/PC. Click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the
taskbar notification area.

Hardware compatibility
Compatibility with other communications processors
The CP 5711 can replace a CP 5512.
Note
•
USB module
Please note: The CP 5711 is a USB module. A CP 5512, on th
e other hand, is connected
via a CardBus interface. This means that you can only replace a CP 5512 with a CP 5711
if there is a USB connector available on the PG/PC.
•
If the CP 5512 has been removed from the PG/PC, no configuration changes need to be
made
Y
ou can adopt the configuration of the CP 5512. To do this, you simply need to reload the
configuration.
Note the following:
When loading the CP 5512 configuration, the CP 5512 has priority
over a CP 5711. As long as a CP 5512 is connected, its configuration cannot be adopted
by a CP 5711. You should therefore remove the CP 5512 from your PC/PG.
Procedure for replacement
To replace a configured, connected CP 5512 with a CP 5711, follow the steps below:
1. Delete the configured CP 5512 from the "Station Configuration Editor".
2. Remove the CP 5512 hardware from the PG/PC.
3. Restart your PG/PC.
Note
Note that you need to have installed at least SIMATIC NET PC Software Edition 2008
including SP1 to be able to operate the CP5711.
4. Connect the CP 5711 to the PG/PC.
The plug and play function of Windows automatically searches for a driver.
5. Follow the instructions of the Hardware Wizard of Windows.
Do not activate the search for drivers on the Internet.
6. Download the CP 5512 configuration.

Safety notices
WARNING
Safety extra-low voltage - SELV
The equipment is designed for operation with Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) by a
Limited Power Source (LPS).
This means that only SELV / LPS complying with IEC 60950-1 / EN 60950-1 / VDE 0805-1
may be connected to the power supply terminals. The power supply unit for the equipment
power supply must comply with NEC Class 2, as described by the National Electrical Code
(r) (ANSI / NFPA 70).
Devices operated with a redundant power supply
If the device is connected to a redundant power supply (two separate power supplies), both
must meet these requirements.
Note
Overvoltage protection
If the communications processor is supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks,
measures are necessary to prevent coupling of strong ele
ctromagnetic pulses on the supply
lines. Such coupling can result, for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive
loads.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of the communications processor to
electromagnetic interference is the "sur
ge immunity test" according to EN 61000-4-5. This
test requires overvoltage protection for the power supply line. A suitable device is, for
example, the Dehn Blitzductor BVT
AD 24V type no. 918 402 or a comparable protective
element.

NE GmbH+Co.KG, Hans Dehn Str. 1, Postfach 1640, D-92306 Neumarkt,
Germany
Conditions for the external power supply
The CP 5711 can also be operated with an external power supply with 24 VDC. You require
this external power in the following situations:
●The CP 5711 is operated on an external hub without its own power supply.
●The USB interface on the PC is a low-power interface that supplies only 100 mA.
●The end termination must be activated on the PROFIBUS connector if the CP 5711 is
located at the end of the cable. If you want this termination to be active even when no
USB cable is connected, an external power supply is necessary.

Requirements of the external power supply
Use an external power supply with the following characteristics:
●Rate voltage 24 VDC
●Permitted range 22.8 to 25.2 VDC
●Current consumption max. 300 mA
●Safety extra low voltage (SELV) to EN 60950
Disconnection from the external power supply
NOTICE
First disconnect the USB connection
Keep to the order below if you disconnect the communications processor from the external
power supply. Otherwise, you may encounter uncontrolled interruptions in communication.
Follow the steps below to disconnect the communications processor from the external power
supply:
1. First, shut down any communication via the CP 5711.
2. Disconnect the USB connection from the device to the PC.
3. Disconnect the external power supply from the device.
