Product Description

The B&R Automation module CS0174100031, also referred to as the SVBUS/2, is a critical component in industrial automation. The design of this module is dedicated to interfacing with different control systems to improve efficiency and reliability in automated processes. It acts as an essential tool in managing complex operations within PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems and other industrial automation setups, ensuring smoothness and efficiency in industrial processes.

Generally, the CS0174100031 module is available as refurbished units. These units are typically inspected, cleaned, and repaired to ensure they meet high operational standards and function properly. Being refurbished, they are offered at a lower cost, making them an affordable option for those looking to maintain or upgrade their automation systems without the expense of purchasing new equipment.

The B&R Automation module CS0174100031 is an expansion card or riser card commonly used in computing systems, particularly in servers, industrial PCs, or custom-built computers. This card features three expansion slots, possibly PCI or PCI Express (PCIe), which are used to connect additional peripheral interface cards to the motherboard. The card's edge connector, with its golden fingers, plugs into a corresponding slot on the motherboard, facilitating communication between the motherboard and the connected devices.

Several integrated circuits (ICs) can be seen on this card near its edge connector, handling functions such as signal routing, power management, or communication between the motherboard and the connected expansion cards. Additionally, there are mounting holes, screws, and spacers provided on this card to allow for secure attachment within the computer case.

In compact systems such as 1U or 2U server cases where vertical space is limited, this expansion or riser card becomes very handy. It enables mounting of expansion cards parallel to the motherboard, allowing for additional functionality in such systems. This design is critical in server environments or custom-built PCs where space constraints prevent traditional vertical installation of expansion cards, allowing system builders to utilize available space more effectively without the need for a larger case.
