Product Description

The 5A5001.13 is a new-generation hard disk integrated into the 5600 and 5000 Industrial Personal Computer (IPC) series produced by B&R automation. This hard disk has been certified to be perfectly suited to meet the requirements of industrial applications. The hard disk functions as a mass memory, the disk contains 39,070,080 sectors each of which can hold up to 512 bytes of data. The total memory capacity of this hard disk is 20 gigabytes. Although the 5A5001.13 is produced with the latest technology, it is unsuited for use in high vibration and high shock environments. Also, the surface of the disk should not be touched as it is very thin and the slightest vibration can damage it.

5A5001.13 hard disk rotates at a speed of 4200 revolutions per minute, it takes the read/write head a minimum of 1.5 milliseconds to move from tract to track, and about 5 milliseconds to read data after the start-up of the hard disk. The track density on the hard disk is about 24,200 tracks per inch, while the bit density is approximately 592 kilobytes per inch. During normal operating conditions, the hard disk maintains a cache memory of 2 megabytes, also maintain a noise level of approximately 24 decibels.

The 5A5001.13 hard disk is built to last, it has a life span of five years, or 20,000 power on hours. To maintain optimum operation of the hard disk, the ambient temperature around the disk should be kept between 5 to about 55 degree Celsius. The hard disk can however be stored at a temperature as high as 60 degree Celsius. The hard disk has a total weight of 1 kilogram.
