Product Description:

The industrial PC 5PC810.5X02-00 is built by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. It functions as a control and visualization node within automated lines, accepting field wiring and operator displays while running real-time machine sequences. Its role combines machine control with local visualization, so one unit can manage sequencing tasks while presenting runtime data to the operator. A DVI-I female video connector supports local display output for operator screens.

The controller operates from a 24 VDC supply and offers two Ethernet ports on 2 x RJ45 connectors; each port supports data transfer up to 1 Gbit/s for plant networks. Local serial communication is handled through 2 x RS232 channels that can be configured up to 115 kbit/s for legacy drives and barcode readers. Five front-accessible 5 x USB 2.0 sockets permit removable storage, keyboards, or HMI touch panel attachment. One add-on interface slot allows a single proprietary expansion card, and two Type I CompactFlash bays support removable process data logging. The unit also includes remanent variable space and static RAM for high-speed task handling, which helps it support responsive control tasks alongside local interface functions.

An internal lithium-ion battery rated at 950 mAh maintains the real-time clock and preserves startup settings when field power is absent. During an unexpected supply drop, the MTCX logic engages a power-failure buffer of 10 ms so queued data can be committed safely to flash. Low-level startup integrity is ensured by the BIOS before control passes to the operating layer. Volatile program sections reside in SRAM, while additional retention is handled by a nonvolatile memory block. This arrangement helps preserve timing information and retained data through brief power interruptions.
