The Siemens 6ES7512-1DK01-0AB0 PLC was equipped with 200 KB of program memory and 1 MB of data memory, making it capable of handling complex automation applications. It featured an integrated PROFINET IRT interface with a 3-port switch, enabling real-time industrial networking with a bit performance of 48 ns. Built for the SIMATIC ET 200SP platform, it required a SIMATIC memory card and BusAdapter for ports 1 and 2, allowing modular configuration. Although compact in form, it provided strong processing capabilities for distributed control systems. Siemens has officially classified this model under PM410: Product cancellation, effective from 01.10.2024. It is available only as a spare part, with the official replacement being the 6ES7512-1DM03-0AB0, which provides enhanced performance and lifecycle security. Known as the CPU 1512SP-1 PN, it was designed for high-performance distributed automation systems with PROFINET IRT connectivity and compact modular architecture. Today, it is listed as a spare part, with a recommended migration path to its successor model.
Applications of the Siemens 6ES7512-1DK01-0AB0 PLC included use in machine-building, packaging, and automotive assembly lines, where its PROFINET IRT capability supported fast data communication between controllers and distributed I/O. In process industries such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals, it provided reliable distributed automation for quality and safety compliance. Utilities and infrastructure projects also used the CPU 1512SP-1 PN for modular automation setups in water treatment and energy distribution. Today, industries relying on the 6ES7512-1DK01-0AB0 are advised to retain it as a spare part while transitioning to the 6ES7512-1DM03-0AB0, ensuring continued Siemens support, faster processing, and long-term investment protection within the SIMATIC ET 200SP environment.
