As the title says: Can I terminate old Powerlink cables with a grounded RJ45 connector (I think that it has to be the grounded ones?) or should I buy adaptors or new cables? 

I have a lot of Powerlink cables and I don't want to put too much money into new cables just to throw the old ones away. I frequently make my own network cables so it would not be that much trouble to terminate to a Rj45 connector - perhaps a little since the wires inside is not the same as in a ethernet cable. 

Anyone tried?

When my BV11 was installed the dealer couldn't finish the job on the day so that evening i did the PL - RJ45 conversion myself. Very easy if, like you, you are comfortable terminating network cables and have the pin out diagrams.

Actually this is one of the reasons for the change of connectors - it is much easier (and cheaper).

Every installer should have a bag of these in his car
