Product Description
Introduced as a part of the 5LS Series, the 5LS251.60-1 is a highly effective and multifunctional component by the B&R Automation created for the requirements of high-level industrial automation. The memory option of this half-size PCI card is quite powerful and comprises such components as 2 MB DRAM, 1 MB SRAM, and 512 KB Flash Eprom which mean that the card will be able to store sufficient quantities of information.
The 5LS251.60-1 is also fitted with an RS485 bus connector that facilitates its connection to PROFIBUS networks. Due to this feature, it is possible to create good communication and control within the industrial systems and support one remote I/O master through RS485. It is necessary for the applications that imply accurate exchange of information and the ability of a system to adapt. Also, there is the integrated CAN interface that is equipped with isolated CAN connections as well as the network connections. For reliable work and data storage the 5LS251.60-1 is equipped with a lithium button cell battery with the capacity of 950 mAh. This battery ensures that the module performance is not affected even when there is power failure, this helps to enhance system security and integrity in order to prevent loss of data. The given operating voltage of the module is 3 V, which helps the operating efficiency of the system and the overall durability.
This physical design in a half-size PCI form factor is well suitable for fitting most system designs. For added versatility, the module can be expanded with the optional LS071 expansion card, which provides additional interfaces including one RS232 and one CAN interface. In conclusion, the 5LS251.60-1 integrates memory, communication interfaces, and flexible expansion options which fits all the requirements of high performance, stability, and expansibility for industrial automation systems
