Product Description:
The 5C5001.1 controller board is a computing unit in the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series manufactured by B&R Automation. The board mounts inside a Provit chassis and supplies CPU, memory, graphics, and field connectivity required for machine control tasks. It forms the central processor in automation cells, coordinating operator displays, motion axes, and discrete I/O for packaging, handling, or process equipment.
An Intel 440BX chipset governs the front-side bus and integrates the PCI bridge, while the CPU is housed in a Socket 370 so the module accepts Pentium III or compatible Celeron processors. Three memory banks are provided as 3 DIMM slots that accept PC100 synchronous SDRAM. With all slots populated, the board reaches a maximum capacity of 512 MB to support large recipe files and visualization data. One E-IDE header allows attachment of a hard disk or solid-state drive, and the layout omits a remote IDE interface, limiting cabling length to the local enclosure. For operator feedback, the graphics controller drives both an FPD channel and a CRT output over a 15-pin VGA DSUB, allowing simultaneous flat-panel and service-monitor connections.
Field connectivity is handled by an embedded Intel 82559ER controller that negotiates 10/100 Mbit/s over S/STP Category 5 cabling and terminates on a shielded RJ45 TP jack. Two serial ports allow PLC links, a single parallel port addresses printers or dongles, and 2 USB ports provide removable media or touch-screen links. The available connectors let the controller support storage, communication, and local peripheral devices from the same board. A real-time clock with 20 ppm accuracy supports event stamping and retains time during power-down intervals. This arrangement supports network communication and time-aware machine records during normal operation.
