Product Description:
The 5C5001.03 system board is supplied by B&R Automation for the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series. It functions as the primary computer in rack-mounted industrial controllers, accepting a pluggable CPU and coordinating memory, display, and I/O resources. Within an automation cell, the board handles sequencing, data acquisition, and local HMI output so that connected drives, sensors, and actuators operate under deterministic control.
Configuration starts with the AWARD Elite BIOS, which exposes low-level setup for interrupt routing, memory timing, and peripheral enablement. An Intel 82430HX northbridge orchestrates the system bus and supports two 2 × PS/2 SIMM sockets; together they accommodate up to 128 MB of EDO or FPM DRAM for deterministic cycle buffering. The CPU is not installed at delivery, but the board carries a ZIF Socket 7 so that Pentium-class processors up to 233 MHz can be selected to match application load. One Enhanced AT PS/2 keyboard connector and an external disk drive header provide boot media and local input, while eight Panelware module positions allow distributed operator keypads. A shared FPD + CRT video header feeds both flat panels and a 15-pin VGA monitor, while the single parallel port supports hardware strobing for legacy printers.
Video generation uses a C&T65550 graphics controller paired with 2 MB of dedicated SDRAM. This arrangement provides 64-bit accelerated output for 800 × 600 flat panels and standard CRT resolutions. Two asynchronous channels terminate on DE9 male connectors and adhere to the RS232, 16-byte FIFO format, allowing buffered data exchange with drives, barcode scanners, or PLC expansions. The parallel interface supports bidirectional handshakes through SPP, EPP, ECP, giving flexibility for field printers or programming adapters while the single port count simplifies address decoding on the system bus.
