Product Description:
The 5C5001 controller base unit is manufactured by B&R Automation for the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series. Designed for cabinet installation, it supplies backplane power and signal routing for plug-in CPU cards and I/O modules. When equipped with the correct processor, the unit coordinates motion, sequencing, and data exchange so production equipment can be supervised from a central automation platform. Its passive backplane design minimizes wiring effort and allows the same chassis to be adapted to different control tasks through module selection.
Hardware support is centered on the Intel 82440 BX chipset, which manages memory timing and peripheral arbitration for the installed computing module. The processor slot accepts Intel Celeron or Pentium III modules, yet the frame ships without a processor so the application can use a suitable clock speed and cache size. Network traffic reaches fieldbus gateways through a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface, and local operator input is accepted through the PS/2 AT keyboard connector. A monitor interface is also present for direct display output, which supports local visualization at the controller.
An FPD interface permits the attachment of flat-panel displays when space or glare constraints rule out CRTs. Pointer input is handled by a dedicated PS/2 mouse port, maintaining compatibility with standard industrial pointing devices. Legacy peripherals such as label printers can be connected through one parallel port, while external drives, barcode scanners, or diagnostic adapters may use two serial ports. For newer expansion, a front-panel USB interface supports hot-swappable mass storage or configuration dongles. That combination accommodates displays, removable media, input devices, and older peripheral equipment on the same base unit.
