Product Description:
B & R Automation produces the 5C2001.7 compact processor as part of the 5C2 Compact Processors series for machine-level control and visualization tasks in distributed industrial automation. The unit combines an embedded PC architecture with multiple fieldbus interfaces so that motion, I/O, and HMI nodes can be coordinated by a single controller. This arrangement allows one device to handle logic processing, communications, and local display functions within compact automation cabinets.
The heart of the PLC is a 80486DX5-133 MHz CPU that executes the real-time operating system and user program. Application data is buffered in 8 MB of DRAM for active tasks, while non-volatile variables are preserved in 256 kB of battery-backed SRAM to survive power cycles. A dedicated C&T 65550 graphics controller drives the integrated VGA output and is supplemented by 1 MB of graphics memory for basic visualization screens. Cooling is provided by a 40 mm ball-bearing fan that moves air across the processor card and power regulators. Communication options include an isolated CAN bus, a BNC Arcnet node, NE2000-compatible Ethernet over BNC, four serial ports, one parallel port, and two Type II or one Type III PC Card slots for removable storage or additional networks.
The housing measures 182 × 182 × 50 mm, allowing the controller to be mounted in shallow control panels without occupying excessive DIN-rail space. Electrical demand is limited to 20.2 W, and the processor accepts a regulated 24 VDC (±6 V) supply that can be taken from the machine’s low-voltage bus. The design remains fully functional up to a 3,000 m installation altitude, supporting deployment in high-elevation facilities. Total expansion capacity is complemented by two PC Card slots, while the single parallel port and four serial ports simplify integration with legacy printers, barcode readers, or sensors. With Arcnet, CAN, and Ethernet available on board, the controller can exchange data with both field-level devices and broader plant networks without external gateways.
