B&R Industrial Automation 5C5001.32 Controller Module

The B&R 5C5001.32 is the Provit 5000 Controller System Unit (CPU Module) used as the central processing core in B&R’s Provit 5000 automation family. This fanless industrial PC CPU module serves as the system’s core, pairing with up to five bus units to provide expansion through one BR ISA, one half-size ISA, one half-size ISA/PCI, and two half-size PCI slots. In this generation, the 5C5001.32 includes ATI graphics support and an integrated 82551ER Ethernet controller, enabling onboard networking and basic graphics output for HMI or operator interfaces. The unit is designed for 24 V DC operation, suitable for harsh factory environments, and is positioned for demanding machine control tasks such as coordinating motion controllers and I/O subsystems within a Provit 5000 setup. With Rev K0 labeling on the 5C5001.32, this CPU module represents a legacy, rugged controller core that remains compatible with the B&R ecosystem of system units and expansion cards for industrial automation applications.
