B&R 5LS187.6-1
POWERLINK (V1/V2) for real-time Ethernet communication CAN bus Logic scanner module 5LS187.6-1 is a PCI half-size module. It supports plug and play and has 1 MB SRAM for remanent data (process variables and data objects). Memory available for remanent process variables depends on the CPU, Automation Runtime, etc. 5LS187.6-1 is a POWERLINK logic scanner module that can be used as a manager or bus controller module. It is connected via an RJ45 port. The module is equipped with a CAN bus interface with separate object buffers in the transmit and receive direction. The module is also equipped with a ready relay.
