Product Description:

The 5PC810.SX01-00 is an industrial PC-class automation unit produced by B&R Automation within the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. Designed as a central machine controller, it combines processing, communication, and local data retention to execute PLC logic, motion tasks, and visualization from a single enclosure. The unit interfaces directly with modular I/O and user panels, allowing it to coordinate sensors, actuators, and operator displays across automated lines.

Powered from a supply of 24 VDC ±25%, the system draws up to 6 A under nominal load, matching typical control-cabinet power buses. Two independent Gigabit interfaces operate at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s to link the controller with plant networks and real-time fieldbuses, while a pair of RJ45 connectors supports redundancy or segmented traffic. Volatile task data are stored in 512 kB of SRAM, and 192 kB of remanent variables survive cold restarts for recipe retention. A lithium backup battery rated for 2.5 years maintains time-of-day and static data between power cycles. The front panel provides two CompactFlash slots for removable media, two serial COM ports for legacy devices, a female DVI-I output for local HMI panels, and USB interfaces for service sticks or scanners.

In operation, the integrated buffer guarantees a hold-up of 10 ms, so short power dips do not reset the controller. Environmental protection is limited to IP20, indicating installation inside a closed electrical cabinet. The housing stands 270 mm tall and extends 252.7 mm deep, allowing space savings on DIN rails while still exposing the heat sinks to cabinet airflow. The front access area includes 5 USB ports for diagnostics, program updates, and field-device attachment without external hubs.
