5C5002.15 B & R Automation
Wake Industrial LLC is not an authorized distributor of this product.
The B & R Automation 5C5002.15 is part of the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series and uses a Pentium III CPU with a 600 MHz clock and 100 MHz front side bus. This unit features a 32 KB L1 cache, 256 KB L2 cache, and a 50 mm diameter fan with ball bearings. It is compatible with 5C5001.1x/2x/3x/4x and 5C5601.1x/2x/3x units.
Internal Product Review
The 5C5002.15 is a 5CS Provit controller system unit built around a Pentium III CPU running at 600 MHz. A 100 MHz front side bus and 256 KB L2 cache give the unit a notably responsive feel in established automation architectures. Broad compatibility with 5C5001 and 5C5601 units makes this model an especially practical choice for legacy control upgrades.

Product Description:
B&R Automation's 5C5002.15 is a central processing unit module in the 5CS Provit Controller System Units series that coordinates motion, I/O, and HMI tasks in factory cells. Installed in a 5CS backplane, the module supplies the computational resources required for deterministic control loops, recipe handling, and data exchange with higher-level networks. It forms the main computational layer in machine tools, packaging lines, and process skids where synchronized axis motion and fast sequence control are required. This arrangement allows one module to handle logic execution, operator interaction, and network communication within the same control platform.
A Pentium III processor handles real-time tasks at the center of the module. The chip operates at 600 MHz, giving the controller enough headroom for multitasking ladder logic, visualization, and fieldbus communication. A front-side bus of 100 MHz links the CPU to memory and peripheral buses, helping keep latency predictable for time-critical instructions. The on-die primary cache is 32 KB, so frequently accessed control variables remain close to the execution units. A secondary cache of 256 KB reduces external memory transactions during arithmetic processing and data logging.
Thermal stability is maintained by a centrifugal blower with a 50 mm impeller that moves air across the heat sink and nearby power components. The blower runs on ball bearings, providing long service life in continuous-duty cabinet environments. Shared slot geometry lets the module fit beside digital and analog I/O units in the same rack, which supports compact multi-module layouts. Electrical and mechanical interfaces are aligned with compatible bases 5C5001.1x/2x/3x/4x; 5C5601.1x/2x/3x, so the controller can be used across several chassis options without rewiring.
