Product Description

The B&R Automation 5LS172, an industrial module from the 5LS Series, is specially made to assist in enhancing automation systems. It features a typical PCI half-size module with 256 kB of battery-backed SRAM that enables it to work even during power disruptions. Dual CAN bus interfaces are one of the most notable specifications for the 5LS172, providing stable communication functions for many industrial operations. These can transfer data at speeds as high as 500 Kbit/s, ensuring quick and efficient transmission of information. This means that it can be used in various industries since its operating temperature ranges between 0 and 55 degrees C. Additionally, storage temperatures range from -25 to 70 degrees C, while relative humidity levels generally range from 0% to about 95% (non-condensing).

The 5LS172 module is meant for B&R Automation PC, B&R Panel PC, and Desktop PC, which means it can be used in different system environments. It is easy to install because it comes as a plug-and-play PCI half-size module that can easily be plugged in without any extra installation needed. For better configurability, the 5LS172 supports CANopen Master Configurable in Automation Studio 3.0 and later versions. This allows users to configure and manage the CANopen networks, enhancing the capabilities of the automation systems.

The design that connects two CAN buses makes it possible for communication and data sharing, which are crucial in enhancing synchronized functionality in immensely sophisticated automated systems. Due to its high transfer rate combined with high SRAM and other factors, this device is appropriate for complicated industrial usage. The B&R Automation 5LS172 module is perfect for a package solution that has everything needed for any automation industry.
