Siemens 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 SIMATIC ET 200SP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN
Failsafe ET 200SP CPU with separate program and data work memory, an integrated PROFINET IRT interface and a three-port switch.
Product Overview
6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 is a Siemens SIMATIC DP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN for the ET 200SP distributed I/O system. It executes standard and safety-related control tasks from the ET 200SP station and communicates through its integrated PROFINET interface.
Program execution, project storage and physical network media are handled as separate parts of the CPU architecture. The load-memory card and the BusAdapter remain required configuration items, so an exchange must preserve the station project, network identity and selected media interface.

Deterministic PROFINET Integration
The communication hardware is built around one PROFINET IRT interface. The integrated switch provides three physical ports while the BusAdapter determines the media connection used by ports 1 and 2.
The CPU participates in PROFINET IRT communication within the engineered ET 200SP network.
Three integrated switch ports support the documented station and network topology.
Ports 1 and 2 cannot be treated as complete physical connections until the correct BusAdapter is selected.
Retain the device name, IP settings, topology and installed BusAdapter when replacing the CPU.
Engineering and Service Functions
The article includes identification, online-service and engineering functions used when restoring an existing ET 200SP station. These functions form a separate configuration boundary from the electrical and memory ratings listed in the specification table.
The CPU provides I&M0 through I&M3 identification and maintenance data.
Module swapping during operation is supported as multi-hot swapping.
The integrated web server provides HTTP and HTTPS access to standard and user pages.
Engineering support is versioned by firmware, including TIA Portal V17 for firmware V2.9 and V13 SP1 Update 4 for firmware V1.8 or later.
Lifecycle and Replacement Information
Siemens lists 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 as discontinued from 2024-10-01 and identifies 6ES7512-1SM03-0AB0 as the successor. Migration still requires a project, firmware, interface and hardware review.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 be identified before a CPU exchange?
Match the complete article number and the CPU 1512SP F-1 PN designation. The ET 200SP family name alone does not distinguish the memory, interface and safety execution of this article.
Which removable items are required to commission 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0?
A SIMATIC Memory Card is required for load memory, and the first two PROFINET ports require the appropriate BusAdapter. Confirm both items against the installed station record.
What supply check prevents an incorrect 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 installation?
Verify a nominal 24 V DC source and keep the applied voltage within 19.2 to 28.8 V DC. Also confirm the ET 200SP wiring and station power arrangement.
Can 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 be treated as a PROFIBUS CPU?
No. The documented integrated communication interface for this article is PROFINET IRT with a three-port switch. Preserve the engineered PROFINET topology and device configuration.
Does the listed successor make 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0 a direct drop-in replacement task?
No direct drop-in claim is made. Compare the STEP 7 project, safety configuration, firmware requirements, memory use, BusAdapter and PROFINET station design before moving to 6ES7512-1SM03-0AB0.
What physical size should be checked for 6ES7512-1SK01-0AB0?
The published dimensions are 100 × 117 × 75 mm and the approximate weight is 310 g. Confirm the ET 200SP mounting arrangement and adjacent station hardware.
