5AC901.IETH-00
The 5AC901.IETH-00 from B & R Automation is a high-performance communication module in the 5AC CNC Addon Modules series, engineered for seamless Ethernet connectivity in industrial automation systems. Designed to operate on a 24 V DC input voltage, this module leverages an Intel I210 Ethernet controller to deliver reliable, low-latency communication. It supports both Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP communication protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of CNC controllers, HMIs, and peripheral devices. Housed in a compact 100 x 22.5 x 120 mm enclosure and weighing just 130 g, the module is optimized for space-constrained control cabinets. The integrated RJ45 connector facilitates quick plug-and-play installation, while the robust DIN Rail mounting design ensures secure deployment in industrial environments.
Technical capabilities of the 5AC901.IETH-00 emphasize flexibility and performance across diverse network environments. The module features a shielded RJ45 connector and supports Network Interface standards of Ethernet 10/100Base-TX with automatic negotiation up to 1000 Mbit/s. Its Communication Protocols include both Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP, allowing integration into modern industrial Ethernet architectures. With a maximum cable length of 100 m (cat 5e/Cat 6) between devices, the module maintains signal integrity over extensive link runs. The built-in Intel I210 chip provides advanced networking features such as traffic prioritization and time-sensitive networking (TSN), ensuring deterministic communication in high-demand CNC applications. Protection Class IP20 and precise manufacturing tolerances guarantee reliable operation in typical automation settings.
Operational features are crafted to support continuous, hassle-free performance on the factory floor. The module’s Power Consumption is rated at just 2.8 W, minimizing thermal load and energy costs. It operates reliably within an ambient Operating Temperature range of 0°C to +55°C and can be stored safely between -25°C to +70°C. Electromagnetic interference is mitigated by shielding around the RJ45 connector and robust design, ensuring error-free data transfer in electrically noisy environments. Auto-negotiation of link speed and duplex settings eliminates manual configuration, while the compact footprint maximizes DIN rail capacity in control panels. These features combine to deliver uninterrupted data throughput and reduced maintenance requirements.
Integration of the 5AC901.IETH-00 into existing automation architectures is straightforward. The module’s DIN Rail mounting system and 100 x 22.5 x 120 mm form factor align with industry-standard dimensions, facilitating retrofits and new installations alike. With support for common industrial Ethernet protocols such as Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP, it interoperates seamlessly with PLCs, CNC systems, and vision inspection units. Its lightweight 130 g design and minimal depth permit high-density assembly in control enclosures. Ideal for machine tool networking, robotic cells, and process automation, the 5AC901.IETH-00 extends the capabilities of B & R Automation’s 5AC series solutions with robust, high-speed data communication.
