Product Description:
B & R Automation’s 5C2001.16 belongs to the 5C2 Compact Processors series and is supplied as a stand-alone embedded controller for industrial automation cells. The unit combines CPU, memory, and communication interfaces so that it can execute deterministic control loops, collect field data, and forward status information to supervisory systems. Its compact form factor lets machine builders mount the processor close to sensors and actuators, reducing wiring and response latency. This layout also helps keep control hardware near the point of use, which supports orderly panel design and short signal paths between field devices and the controller.
The core of the controller is a 80486DX2-66 MHz CPU that supplies integer performance adequate for ladder, structured text, and motion tasks handled by the real-time runtime. Application code and dynamic variables reside in 8 MB of DRAM, while configuration data that must survive power cycles is buffered in 256 kB of SRAM. Network access is available through a BNC, NE2000-compatible Ethernet interface, which is useful for deterministic TCP/IP segments or legacy coaxial topologies, and an isolated CAN bus allows high-speed field communication without ground loops. The control electronics are fed from a regulated 24 VDC supply, which simplifies integration with common cabinet power rails. Additional ports include four serial channels, one parallel port, and dedicated video driven by a C&T 65550 with 1 MB of graphics memory for local HMI panels.
System resources can be expanded through the front-mounted 2× Type II / 1× Type III PC-card cage, giving designers options for modem, memory, or specialty I/O cards without altering the base hardware. The enclosure measures 182 × 182 × 50 mm, enabling installation on DIN rails or shallow panels, and it draws only 12.8 W, which limits heat rise inside sealed cabinets. Reliable operation is specified up to 3,000 m altitude, so the processor can be deployed in elevated plant rooms or mountain production sites without derating. The available expansion and interface mix also supports use in machines that need both local visualization and direct communication with distributed control components.
