Remarks DEMO = time limited versions. The server process works for 4 hours each time you start it; this should be sufficient for evaluation.

rk512_server Info:

S5/S7 to Linux connection using a communication unit (CP).
Uses standard protocol RK512 based on block transfer procedure 3964R.

Connects to S7 or S5 plc.

All CPUs can be accessed.

On the Simatic side a device is needed which knows about RK512. Connection to S7 and S5 is possible, for both families there are communication units (CP) with RK512. As an alternative S5-CPUs with a second serial interface are available; few of them already speak RK512, others have implemented 3964R only. For some of the latter we offer an interpreter (available drivers see Runtime software for Simatic S5). For all S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs, the ACCON MPI adaptor provides access via RK512.

Design

The package rk512_server consists of a server process and a client-library written in ANSI-C, which you can use to develop applications with access to S5/S7 data blocks. Up to 64 client processes can connect to the server at the same time. The server process coordinates the concurrent accesses of the clients and is responsible for the data transmission to the S5/S7 using RK512.

With the appropriate hardware of the Linux computer (serial devices) you can supervise several S5/S7 plcs at the same time.
