rk511_server Info:

S5 to Linux connection using the plc`s programming device interface.
Allows access to serveral S5-CPUs.

Connects to S5 plc.

One CPUs can be accessed.

You can connect each CPU of the S5 family, not only the smallers !!

Design

The package rk511_server consists of a server process and a client-library written in ANSI-C, which can be used 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 the programming device interface protocol of the plc..

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

The usage of the rk*_servers in USA is prohibited. Explaination

We have thought for a long time if we can do this prohibition, because it could be understood as a discrimination, but there are diverse reasons for that.
One of them: Also in the past, we have always refused to sell to USA and Canada because of the unpredicable risks coming from the product liability laws of these countries.
At the end, President Trump also made this decision:
His statement, to put sanctions on each country which buys oil from Iran, has decided also for us.
The assumption to be allowed to decide what ever happens on this planet is widely accepted in all parts of the US society.
We, in opposite, stand on the right to decide for the political orientation of the politics of our country for ourselfs. ( see: democracy )
The only selection of a government which obeys to supervisory authorities is not acceptable.

We know that our prohibition only can be a sign and the effect of our decition is near to nothing, else we would hope:

This is not only an action for our security against unwarrantable claims, it also would be an action for the “national security“ of the USA and of course of all other countries.
