The modular System 2005 from B&R includes a series of extremely powerful controllers. The large range of I/O modules for process signals inputs and outputs meets all process automation requirements. Hot swapping and changing the configuration during operation ensures a very high level of system availability. Together with I/O systems, industrial PCs, and controllers from B&R, automation solutions can be created that meet the highest demands. Interface modules, together with fieldbus systems, networks, and peripheral devices, provide optimal data throughput.

Controller

System 2005 CPUs are based on Intel compatible processors with the most modern architecture. Innovative PC technology such as CompactFlash memory, 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections, and aPCI expansion slots allow the highest performance equipment from the IT world to be made available for automation. Programming all types of controllers is done in a complete and uniform manner in the APROL engineering system.

Bus controller

To reduce wiring, remote operation of System 2005 I/O modules is also possible. Bus controllers remove location limitations and bring the connection terminals closer to the machine. The data throughput of ETHERNET Powerlink also guarantees the highest performance for decentralized systems.

I/O modules

A wide range of modules for connecting analog, digital, counter, temperature, and other signals allows the System 2005 to control many process values and many different types of actuators. The parallel I/O processor reduces the load on the controller and provides more power in the application.

Network and fieldbus modules

Communication with the outside world and a decentralized architecture are characteristics of modern automation products. The System 2005 has been optimized to meet these demands and offers high-performance interfaces with a wide bandwidth. Interface modules for networks and fieldbus systems expand the connections already integrated in the controllers.

Mounting and supply

The encased System 2005 modules are mounted on a backplane, which is installed on mounting rail in the switching cabinet. Sensor and actuator signal connections are preconfigured on plug-in terminal blocks, which minimizes work in the switching cabinet. The System 2005 power supplies are also mounted on the backplane and available for all important supply voltages. System 2005 power supplies are also available with a redundant supply as an option.
