The RK512 is associated with the S5 range of PLCs. Do you have an S5 already networked? Could you provide some more information: Which protocols are available on the Flexisoft CPU?.. maybe Modbus? What do you aim to communicate? Greetings. w

(none I know of) * Ask SICK for some starter code that can be used on an S7 PLC. (!) * Design the protocol for the S7-1200 by using open communications blocks * Get a gateway as stated in the document you provided: "The TCP/IP interface is supported by certain Flexi Soft Ethernet gateways (e.g. ProfiNet, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP)." w
