Product Description:
The 5C5001.01 controller board is built by B&R Automation for the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series. It serves as the central processing element inside operator stations and machine cabinets, where it handles logic, motion, and visualization tasks in factory automation lines. The board runs the B&R runtime on an x86 platform and plugs into the Provit backplane so distributed I/O, drives, and panelware can exchange data over a common system bus without extra gateway hardware. This arrangement helps keep control and interface functions on one board while supporting coordinated machine operation.
A core set of PC-compatible components shapes its performance profile. The board boots from the AWARD Elite BIOS and relies on the Intel 82430HX chipset for memory and peripheral arbitration. A CPU is installed in the ZIF Socket 7, while system RAM can be expanded to 128 MB through two 72-pin SIMM slots that accept EDO or FPM modules. Video output is driven by an integrated controller with 1 MB of graphics memory, and it can feed flat-panel displays or CRTs through a shared FPD + CRT (15-pin VGA D-sub) connector. The parallel LPT1 port supports SPP, EPP, and ECP modes, while a front-access external disk drive bay allows removable media to be used for software loading or data logging. UART traffic is buffered by a 16-byte serial FIFO to reduce interrupt overhead during serial communication.
Field communication is provided by 2 × RS-232 channels, permitting direct links to drives, sensors, or modems. Printer port flexibility is complemented by an Enhanced AT PS/2 keyboard connector and a separate PS/2 mouse header for operator input, which supports local control at the machine interface. The board can supervise up to 8 modules of Panelware operator panels, allowing local HMI expansion without separate interface hardware. Time-dependent sequences remain accurate because the real-time clock drifts no more than 10 ppm across the stated temperature range.
