Product Description:

The 5PC510.SX01-00 is an industrial automation unit manufactured by B&R Automation as part of the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. It functions as a compact control computer that executes motion sequences, processes fieldbus traffic, and hosts supervisory software for machines and small cells. By integrating processing, communication, and power-loss buffering in one enclosure, it reduces cabinet wiring and provides a central node for deterministic control tasks on the plant floor.

The controller is powered from a supply of 24 VDC ±25% and draws a nominal current of 1.5 A, so a 60 W DIN-rail supply covers normal and startup inrush demands. Its internal load is rated at 35 W, allowing passive heat transfer through the aluminum chassis. For serial diagnostics or legacy devices, COM1 supports data rates up to 115 kbit/s, while modern networking is handled through 1 integrated Ethernet port that can be assigned to real-time or TCP/IP protocols. A lithium-ion battery maintains the real-time clock and retains process data for the specified buffer time of 10 ms during power interruptions. Two USB ports permit service imaging or the attachment of removable mass storage, and galvanic isolation is present between the supply and I/O domains to prevent ground-loop faults.

The enclosure carries a IP20 protection rating and relies on a fanless cooling concept, so it can be mounted in sealed cabinets without airflow planning. Mechanical dimensions are fixed at 58 mm width, 210 mm height, and a depth of 202.4 mm, enabling high-density stacking on DIN rails. System weight is only 1600 g, which minimizes load on horizontal rail supports and makes the unit easier to handle during installation. USB sockets and battery access are front-facing, so the device can be serviced without removal, and galvanic isolation also extends to the Ethernet interface for additional noise immunity.
