This is a PCI half-size module that comes with plug and play support and has 1MB of battery backup SRAM meant for storage of residue information such as process variables and data objects. The amount of memory that can be allocated to such variables is determined by the CPU, Automation runtime, and many other factors.

One of the major characteristics worth highlighting in the 5LS187.6-1 is its POWERLINK (V1/V2) capability that enables real-time Ethernet communication. It can be used as a bus controller module connected through an RJ45 port. It also has the CAN bus interface with separate object buffers for transmitting and receiving data, which can improve the communication of the module.

The characteristics of the 5LS187.6-1 module are explained through its technical features. The CAN bus interface uses a 4 pin male multipoint connector and has a reach of up to 1000 meters and a data transfer rate of up to 1 Mbit/s. The POWERLINK interface has a transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s and the range between two stations is restricted to 100 meters. This module can be installed in B&R Automation PC, B&R Panel PC, and Desktop PC mounting types. Also, the module is intended to operate within a storage temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees C and comes with a ready relay for further operations. In the delivery content, there is a lithium battery added to ensure that the module is ready for use. The 5LS187.6-1 has logos of CE and UL to show that it complies with safety and quality requirements. These certifications assist in showing its stability and reliability when used in industrial undertakings, which in turn makes the user have confidence in the product.
