Product Description

The offered 5LS189.6-1 Logic Scanner Module belongs to the 5LS Series of the B & R Automation company and is developed to satisfy the demanding requirements of the modern industrial automation systems. This module features a PCI half-size type adopted design, which allows it to fit well in almost any industrial setting. The main selling point of this module is the presence of 1 MB SRAM, which is battery-backed.

A fieldbus interface known as the X2X Link master fieldbus interface' is integrated within the 5LS189.6-1, which utilizes a ''4-pin male multipoint connector'. This interface requires the maximum distance between stations to be 100 meters so as to allow flexibility in the network configuration , and so as to ensure reliable communication over long distances. Also included in the module is the POWERLINK interface which can operate either in the managing or controlled node. This interface can handle a transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s and feature a Type 3 edition with a shielded RJ45 socket in. The POWERLINK interface also allows the maximum transmission line length of 100 meters between stations and offers high speed and reliability of the data transmission in the network.

The physical layer of the POWERLINK interface complies with the 100BASE-T standard and operates in full duplex in EtherNet mode, so the data transmission and reception processes are as effective and accurate as possible. There is also autonegotiation that enables the setting of the perfect transmission rate in relation to the connected devices on the module. The 5LS189.6-1 should function well under temperatures of 0 to 55 degrees C, thus being more versatile.

The 5LS189.6-1 Logic Scanner Module from B & R Automation is a small device with high speed communication and reliable memory. Due to the two fieldbus interfaces, long distance communication capability and such dependable functionality, this is a critical element that can be used in improving the speed and productivity of industrial automation networks.
