Product Description:

The 5A5001.99 is a storage accessory manufactured by B & R Automation and supplied within the 5A5 Hard Disks series. It serves as a storage drive package for controllers and operator panels that require rotating memory for recipe handling, event logging, or system updates. By matching the mechanical outline and electrical interface used in this series, the product fits existing controller and panel installations without changes to cabinet wiring.

This kit is sold as a Hard Disk Conversion Kit, which means the assembly includes the drive, mounting hardware, and cabling needed to adapt legacy slots to modern disks. The storage electronics are carried on an Insert Card, so the unit slides into the designated rack location without back-plane disassembly. During operation, the drive withstands shocks up to 150 G, 2 ms and vibrations of 1 G, 5 to 400 Hz, which helps protect the recording mechanism in moving equipment. Once installed, the controller recognizes a formatted capacity of 6 GB for process data and system images. Two captive slot-cover screws secure the panel to the housing so the card remains seated when enclosure doors are shut firmly.

Inside the carrier, the storage element is the MHK2060AT, a Removable Hard Disk that follows the ATA command set. Its physical outline equals a 2.5 in (63.5 mm) form factor, allowing the assembly to occupy minimal depth behind the console bezel while using a fixed bracket to limit relative movement. The surrounding cage is isolated from the frame by Rubber Suspension, which attenuates residual vibration transferred through steel cabinets and helps the heads maintain track alignment. The fixed mounting arrangement keeps the disk aligned with the back-plane connector, and the pair of slot screws apply a consistent compression load during repeated installation cycles.
