Product Description:
The 5C5001.32 controller base unit is produced by B&R Automation within the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series. As an industrial PC platform, it hosts the control logic, fieldbus interfaces, and operator displays that coordinate automated machinery on a plant floor. The housing accepts standard PC boards and provides the electrical interface between the factory network and local I/O modules, making it the central processing platform of a distributed automation cell.
At board level, the unit is built around the Intel 440BX chipset, which manages memory timing and peripheral buses linked to the CPU installed in the Socket 370 processor interface. Two memory sockets are present; they follow the 2 x DIMM layout and accept PC100 SDRAM modules. Video output is handled by an ATI Rage Mobility M controller paired with 4 MB of dedicated graphics memory, allowing the system to drive a flat-panel display through the Panellink FPD port or a CRT through the 15-pin VGA connector. One E-IDE slot supports a hard drive or optical device, and the serial COM1/COM2 lines provide RS-232 connectivity. A parallel header supports SPP, EPP, and ECP transfer modes for legacy printers or instrumentation.
Network access is provided by the Intel 82551ER Fast Ethernet controller, which feeds an RJ45 twisted-pair port rated for 10/100 Mbit/s operation over shielded S/STP Category 5 cable. The board allocates a single expansion connector for additional fieldbus cards, while the dual USB stack exposes two downstream ports for service tools or removable storage devices. System memory can be expanded up to 512 MB, supporting larger recipe buffers and graphical user interfaces without paging delays. This arrangement allows the base unit to handle Ethernet communication, local expansion, and display output from the same mainboard.
