Product Description

The B&R Automation product code for the mentioned part is 5C5001. 32/T has been built with several technical specifications that make it suitable for use in industrial networking environments. It features the Intel 82551ER Ethernet controller for a stable network connection that is made through an RJ45 Twisted Pair interface.

This model has been specifically designed to meet protocols of the Ethernet speed of 10/100 Mbit/s with the auto-negotiation feature that enables it to adjust depending on the network's requirements thus making it suitable for many industrial applications. The unit comes with provisions for the use of Category 5 S/STP cables, a wise decision given the fact that such cables provide minimal interference from electromagnetic induction which is quite vital when dealing with the industrial environment where stability of the communication is paramount. It includes two LED status indicators: The green LED shows that the communication is at 100 Mbit/s while the orange LED represents link activity and that makes it easier to know the status of the network. It supports several operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and MS-DOS. This compatibility guarantees that the 5C5001. 32/T can easily fit into different system environments. The Ethernet controller is not NE2000 compatible, showing that the board employs more efficient network protocols than the NE2000, which is beneficial for today's industrial systems.

The 5C5001. 32/T complies with standard industrial certifications which prove its quality and reliability. This gives it an advantage in its use, especially in industrial environments where a stable and enduring network connection is needed. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
