Product Description:

The 5DLSDL.1001-00 is an AP Link module produced by B & R Automation within the 5DL AP Link Modules series. The unit provides a physical interface between the SDL or DVI operator panel line and the main controller, allowing long-distance panel placement while retaining full video and data channels. By converting panel signals for remote transmission and managing power distribution, the module fits into machine consoles or cabinet doors where compact, DIN-rail communication hardware is required in industrial automation cells.

Communication with service laptops or diagnostic tools is handled through a DSUB, 9-pin, female connector that carries standard RS232 signals. The port supports data exchange up to 115 kbit/s, sufficient for firmware loading and parameter logging. Galvanic isolation separates the interface from the internal logic, preventing ground loops during field maintenance. The module is powered from the machine’s 24-volt supply, and its input tolerates fluctuations between 24 VDC ±25% without loss of function. With a depth of 23.6 mm, the device occupies minimal space behind shallow control panel cutouts, easing enclosure layout where component stacking is tight.

Three rear USB receptacles, including two Type A ports and one Type B port, support peripherals and panel link diagnostics. The total bus draw is limited to 3 A, while individual downstream devices can each take up to 1 A. High-speed communication over the USB uplink reaches 480 Mbit/s, enabling camera streams or bulk recipe transfers without saturating the controller network. Mechanical dimensions include a height of 110 mm and a width of 190 mm, which aligns with standard DIN-rail clip spacing and supports vertical mounting. Panel inputs accept SDL/DVI video in the DVI-D variant, so the module relays graphics without analog conversion or signal degradation.
