5LS Expansion Card Series

The B&R 5LS Expansion Card Series LOGIC SCANNER POWERLINK is a comprehensive series of modular safety controllers designed for machine and system builders working across various industries. The series consists of a range of controllers with different on-board I/O configurations, dimensions and computing power to suit low to high complexity automated machinery and production lines. Controllers in the 5LS Expansion Card Series all support the open POWERLINK protocol for real-time Ethernet, providing designers and builders substantial flexibility in network architecture and enabling seamless integration of machine safety components. All controllers in the 5LS Expansion Card Series are based on B&R's openSAFETY technology, ensuring maximum modularity using I/O modules with uniform safety technology. Designers have full freedom to select the appropriate controller and corresponding I/O modules based on their machinery's specific safeguarding needs and functionality. The series also supports B&R's mapp Safety PLC programming interface, allowing machine safety logic to be developed quickly in a standardized manner aligned with general purpose programming. This consistent approach streamlines development, configuration and deployment across all automation components in an installation.
