Product Description:
The 5P5000 is an industrial automation unit produced by B & R Automation within the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. It operates as a compact control platform that hosts field I/O and communication boards, allowing machine builders to consolidate processing, visualization, and motion functions in a single enclosure. By combining embedded computing with expansion slots, the device streamlines cabinet layouts and reduces wiring in automated packaging lines, material-handling cells, and assembly equipment.
The housing carries a protection rating of IP20, so it must be installed inside a cabinet yet still resists incidental contact with energized parts. Rated operation up to 3,000 m above sea level means altitude-induced cooling derate is not required for most facilities. A Vertical mounting orientation is mandatory, ensuring convection airflow over the main board and expansion cards. The integrated PCI backplane runs at a bus frequency of 33 MHz, which matches legacy motion and communication cards that depend on this clock. Add-on cards are powered from a regulated backplane voltage of 5 V, so designers can reuse standard 5 V PCI modules without level shifting. System-level data exchange with legacy printers or panel PCs is handled through 1 parallel interface, offering byte-wide transfers that still benefit ticketing and labeling equipment.
Additional field connectivity is delivered by 2 serial interfaces that support RS232 or RS485 signaling for drives, barcode scanners, or weight scales. Operator interaction is simplified by a dedicated PS/2 keyboard port, which allows boot-time BIOS access without consuming USB bandwidth, and full-time video feedback is available through the standard monitor port. An integrated FPD connection provides a direct channel to B & R Automation touch panels, reducing cabling when the unit is paired with remote human-machine interfaces.
