Product Description:
The 5C2001.01 is a compact processor module manufactured by B & R Automation for the 5C2 Compact Processors series. It is installed inside control cabinets. The module acts as the main CPU for programmable logic, motion sequences, and network handling in industrial automation cells and compact control systems. In that role, it coordinates application execution and data flow between connected automation components.
Computation is handled by a 80486DX2-66 MHz CPU that is supported by 8 MB of DRAM for dynamic program variables and a built-in coprocessor for hardware-level arithmetic acceleration. Volatile storage for high-speed buffering is provided by 256 kB of SRAM, while nonvolatile code is held in a 2 MB FlashPROM so stored data survives power cycling. This memory arrangement separates working data from retained program storage, which helps the controller restart with its application already available. Graphic diagnostics are driven by a C&T 65550 controller that shares 1 MB of video memory with the system, allowing basic VGA output to a service monitor for local diagnostics. An Award Elite BIOS initializes the board, and a battery-backed real-time clock time-stamps data even when the unit is powered down. Two serial ports and one parallel port provide legacy device connectivity, and a Type I CompactFlash slot accepts removable media.
Power is supplied at 24 V DC, so the module can be wired directly to common machine control buses. The onboard CAN interface is electrically isolated, preventing ground-loop faults when the processor exchanges data with distributed drives and I/O nodes. The isolation barrier also helps protect communication quality when field devices operate at different ground potentials. With physical dimensions of 182 x 182 x 50 mm, the unit fits shallow enclosures while still allowing front access to connectors. Operation is specified up to a ceiling of 3,000 m altitude, which covers most plant locations without derating.
