Product Description:
The 5C5001.15 controller board is manufactured by B & R Automation as part of the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series. Intended for cabinet-mounted machine controllers, it forms the core platform that interconnects a CPU card, memory, fieldbus adapters, and local operator panels. By concentrating critical computing and communication resources on a single backplane, the unit simplifies wiring and supports coordinated motion, sequence, and visualization tasks inside automated production lines.
At the hardware level, the board is driven by the Intel 82440 BX chipset, enabling front-side bus service for Socket 370 processors. Three memory sockets accept up to 3 DIMM modules, so RAM can be scaled to application size. Integrated networking delivers 10/100 Mbit/s throughput over Twisted Pair cabling, allowing fast PLC peer exchange across standard plant switches. Graphics are handled by an onboard controller with 4 MB of video memory, and the layout includes separate connectors for an analog CRT monitor and a flat-panel display, letting designers choose the viewing device that fits the enclosure. A native USB port offers hot-plug access for removable media or configuration tools.
For established peripheral standards, the design keeps a PS/2 AT keyboard jack, a PS/2 mouse port, and 1 parallel interface for printers or opto-isolated control modules. Communication with legacy drives or sensors is possible through 2 serial ports that operate in RS-232 mode. The board is shipped without a processor and accepts an Intel Celeron / Pentium III CPU matched to the required scan times. An external FDD connector supports field updates from floppy disks, and watchdog circuitry coordinates with the monitor connection to trigger safe shutdown when system activity is lost.
