Industrial CU-02 5010 Programmable Logic Controller Module

Industrial CU-02 5010 is an Ascon Tecnologic SigmaPAC distributed control unit (CPU module) designed for robust factory automation and IEC 61131-3 programming. It operates as a CANopen-based controller that links to I/O modules on a CAN network while offering Ethernet for programming and remote access and multiple serial channels (RS232 plus RS232/RS485) for field devices and inter-device communication. The unit is DIN rail‑mountable with front protection rated IP20, making it suitable for panel mounting in industrial cabinets. It supports a 0 to 55°C operating range (and -20 to 85°C storage) with 5 to 95% RH non-condensing, aligning with typical industrial environments, and its footprint is about 65.8 mm wide. As part of the SigmaPac family, CU-02 5010 uses a 32‑bit ARM CPU and is designed to integrate with I/O modules over CANopen, while the Ethernet interface provides remote configuration and status monitoring. This model sits in the CU-02 lineup alongside variants like CU-02 2010, and, per Ascon’s published notes, CU-02 models have been superseded by newer nP4 hardware in ongoing product lifecycle updates.
