Product Description:

B & R Automation’s 5ACCMA00.0101-000 is an add-on module in the 5AC CNC Addon Modules series. It serves as an auxiliary interface block for computer numerical control stations, giving machine builders a packaged assembly that attaches to display arms or enclosures and routes peripheral signals through its integrated USB link. By matching the mechanical format of the rest of the 5AC range, the unit simplifies panel layout while maintaining the sealing needed on automated production lines.

The module measures 60.25 mm in height, 259 mm in length, and 280 mm in width, giving it a low-profile rectangular housing that fits inside common machine bezels. The device weighs 2.6 kg, which is light enough for articulated arms while still providing stability under vibration. A coated aluminum enclosure shields the internal circuitry and, together with gaskets, achieves a protection rating of IP54, so splash water and settled dust do not reach the signal contacts. Installation follows the VESA mounting standard, allowing the module to bolt directly onto monitor brackets or console plates without custom drilling. The exterior is finished in white aluminum similar to RAL 9006, matching typical control cabinet color schemes.

The front panel holds a single USB receptacle that uses a Type A connector and complies with the USB 2.0 signaling standard. This port is current-limited to 500 mA, enabling safe attachment of flash drives, service dongles, or other low-power diagnostic tools without overloading the internal regulator. A single port keeps the opening uncluttered and leaves adjoining space clear at the front panel. The external surface has a uniform white aluminum (similar to RAL 9006) coating, which adds corrosion resistance and visually matches neighboring operator panels.
