Product Description:
The 5C2000.15 compact CPU is manufactured by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5C2 Compact Processors series. It functions as the central controller in machine-level automation, executing user programs, driving local operator displays through an internal graphics unit, and coordinating field devices across several serial buses. Integration of logic, storage, and communication in one DIN-mountable enclosure reduces cabinet space and wiring while preserving deterministic task scheduling for motion, batching, or general sequencing.
The processor board operates from 24 V DC with a tolerance of ±6 V supplied through a pluggable terminal, so no internal mains supply is required. Its CPU is an 80486DX2-66 MHz processor, giving 32-bit instruction support for floating-point calculations and real-time interrupt handling. Directly on the board is 256 kB of battery-backed SRAM that retains variables during power loss and speeds cycle response when compared with CompactFlash access times. The unit operates at ambient temperatures from 0 to 50 °C, allowing installation in standard control cabinets without forced cooling. The C&T 65550 graphics controller shares the memory bus to drive passive LCD or CRT operator panels, and a built-in coprocessor offloads deterministic I/O scans so the main CPU can prioritize application code.
The unit includes several communication interfaces. An isolated CAN port handles time-critical fieldbus traffic, while four serial channels—Com1 RS-232, Com2 RS-232/TTY, Com3 RS-485/TTY, and Com4 RS-232/422—link barcode readers, drives, or HMI terminals without extra gateways. A Type I CompactFlash slot provides removable storage for application files or recipe data, and the on-board display engine accesses 1 MB of dedicated video RAM so graphic objects draw without stealing application bandwidth. Enclosure dimensions of 182 x 182 x 50 mm fit shallow panels, and the unit weighs 1.7 kg, permitting direct rail mounting next to I/O blocks. The compact housing leaves room for adjacent I/O modules and communication hardware in shallow enclosures.
