Product Description:

The 5AC901.CCFA.00 module is an add-on component from B & R Automation in the 5AC CNC Addon Modules series. It operates as a CFast memory adapter that expands nonvolatile storage for CNC, motion, or process controllers deployed on machining lines and assembly cells. Through this accessory, operators can transfer system files or collect operational data using standard CFast media instead of fixed internal drives. It also gives the host a removable storage point that can be accessed without altering the base controller hardware.

This module is identified by the device category CFast Adapter, meaning its only active circuitry is a pass-through interface that routes the host bus to a single, front-accessible CFast Slot. Supported capacities range from 2 GB up to 256 GB, allowing the same carrier to handle small parameter sets or extensive data logs. The enclosure follows the Slide-In Compact mounting style, mating with a guide rail inside the controller rack and locking without extra fasteners. The carrier adds no measurable heat load, and its latch keeps the card secure during vibration. Because the slot is accessible from the front, media can be inserted or removed without disturbing neighboring modules.

For platform alignment, the adapter is certified for the APC910 industrial PC family as well as the PPC900 panel controller line, and it maintains the bus timing and voltage characteristics required by those hosts. Any card inserted may use SLC or MLC flash cell structures, allowing a choice between higher write endurance and greater storage density when selecting media. The single-slot layout allows the controller to treat the card as a removable disk while the module preserves signal integrity for high-speed reads and writes. This compatibility profile supports consistent media handling across multiple machines while leaving the base controller design unchanged.
