Siemens 6ES7512-1DK01-0AB0 SIMATIC ET 200SP CPU 1512SP-1 PN
A predecessor-generation ET 200SP CPU with 200 KB program memory, 1 MB data memory and an integrated three-port PROFINET IRT interface.
Product Identification
6ES7512-1DK01-0AB0 is the Siemens CPU 1512SP-1 PN for SIMATIC ET 200SP. It provides 200 KB of program work memory, 1 MB of data work memory and a first interface using PROFINET IRT with an integrated three-port switch.
Siemens identifies this article in the predecessor CPU range. A SIMATIC Memory Card is required, and the installed project, firmware, server-module arrangement and network topology must be preserved when the CPU is serviced.
The DK01 generation is an exact hardware and firmware record; the newer DM03 CPU is not a drop-in assumption without project review.

Functions
Run the distributed controller
Executes the ET 200SP control program with separate program and data work-memory areas.
Coordinate the PROFINET station
The integrated three-port switch supports the documented PROFINET IRT topology.
Retain project identity
The CPU generation, firmware and memory-card contents form one controlled automation record.
Applications
Distributed machine control
Use in ET 200SP stations whose project and I/O configuration were engineered for the DK01 generation.
PROFINET IRT network
Preserve device names, topology, timing and controller relationships when replacing the CPU.
Legacy service support
Treat the newer DM03 generation as a migration decision rather than an automatic physical spare.
Lifecycle
Archive
Back up the project, memory-card contents, firmware version, topology and connected ET 200SP I/O record.
Identify
Confirm the complete 6ES7512-1DK01-0AB0 label and distinguish it from DK, DM and failsafe variants.
Replace
Follow the approved power-down and memory-card handling procedure and restore the exact project.
Accept
Verify startup mode, I/O recognition, PROFINET communication, diagnostics and every critical control path.
