Manufacturer: B&R Industrial Automation. Matching host model: 5PC600.SX02-00. Product name: Dual half-size PCI slot assembly for APC620. Product type: Internal expansion slot component for industrial PC. Standard: Compliant with PCI 2.2 industrial specification.

Electrical Specifications

The slot assembly adopts standard 32-bit PCI bus architecture with a working frequency of 33 MHz. It supports dual voltage input of 3.3 V and 5 V, compatible with most mainstream industrial half-size PCI cards. The maximum single-slot load current is 1.5 A, and the total rated current of two slots is 2.8 A. The internal circuit is equipped with overcurrent protection and transient voltage suppression components to avoid component damage caused by abnormal current and surge voltage. The bus signal has complete shielding design to reduce crosstalk between signals and external electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transmission. The slot bus is directly connected to the motherboard via high-reliability wiring, with signal transmission delay controlled within the standard range.

Mechanical and Structural Characteristics

The whole assembly is made of high-strength flame-retardant plastic and metal reinforcement brackets, with anti-vibration and anti-loosening design for slot positions. Each slot is designed for half-size PCI cards, limiting the overall length of installed expansion cards to adapt to the compact internal space of 5PC600.SX02-00. Standard card locking shrapnel is configured for each slot to fix the expansion card firmly and prevent loose contact caused by vibration. The overall structure is compact and precisely positioned, which can be installed and disassembled together with the host internal frame without damaging the main circuit board. The contact pins of the slot adopt gold-plated process, which has good oxidation resistance and wear resistance, and maintains stable contact performance after long-term plugging and vibration.

Environmental Adaptability

The normal working temperature range of the slot assembly is 0°C to 55°C, consistent with the operating temperature of the matching host. The storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 75°C. The applicable relative humidity is 10% to 95% without condensation. It can withstand continuous vibration of 0.5 g to 1.75 g within the frequency range of 2 Hz to 200 Hz, and resist 15 g impact pulse during operation, fully meeting the vibration and shock resistance requirements of industrial sites. The product belongs to Pollution Degree 2, suitable for conventional industrial workshop environments with dust, oil mist and weak chemical volatiles.

Compliance and Certification

This component complies with PCI 2.2 standard, EN 61131-2, EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 electromagnetic compatibility standards. It has passed RoHS and REACH environmental protection certifications. All products undergo strict continuity test, contact resistance test and vibration aging test before delivery to ensure consistent quality and reliable operation.

3. Core Functions and Features

Main Functions

The dual half-size PCI slots provide standard bus channels for the 5PC600.SX02-00 host to expand external functions. It supports access to various industrial communication cards including PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and serial communication cards, realizing data interaction between the host and field bus devices. It can be installed with analog and digital I/O acquisition cards to expand signal input and output channels for on-site equipment monitoring and control. It is compatible with low-power motion control auxiliary cards to assist the host in completing multi-axis linkage and action control. The dual-slot design allows simultaneous installation of two different types of expansion cards to realize multi-function combination expansion.

Structural and Operational Features

The half-size design adapts to the compact chassis of 5PC600.SX02-00, will not occupy excessive internal space and affect the heat dissipation of the host. The gold-plated pin structure effectively prevents poor contact caused by oxidation and dust accumulation, reducing equipment failure rate. The built-in overcurrent and surge protection can isolate faults of individual expansion cards and avoid fault spread to the host motherboard. The integrated shielding structure greatly improves anti-interference ability and ensures stable bus transmission in strong electromagnetic interference environments such as frequency converters and motors. The assembly is pre-installed at the factory, no additional debugging is required, and it can work normally after matching standard expansion cards.

Product Positioning

As a standard built-in expansion component of 5PC600.SX02-00 industrial system unit, this dual PCI slot assembly is a necessary interface for the host to realize function expansion. It is oriented to machine manufacturers and system integrators, and provides flexible expansion solutions for small and medium-sized automation equipment with limited installation space. It focuses on practicality and stability, and is a reliable supporting component for building compact industrial control systems.

Usage Notes

This PCI slot assembly is only applicable to 5PC600.SX02-00 host, and cannot be used for other models such as 5PC600.SX01-00, 5PC600.SF03-00. Only half-size PCI expansion cards that meet PCI 2.2 standard are allowed, and full-size cards or non-standard modified cards are prohibited. Before installing or replacing expansion cards, please cut off the host power supply and take anti-static measures. Do not insert or pull out cards with power on, so as to avoid burning slot pins and expansion cards. Regularly clean the dust inside the slots every 3 to 6 months according to the on-site environment to keep the contacts clean. Do not use expansion cards exceeding the rated current to prevent overheating and protection action. Ensure the host is installed vertically and fixed firmly to reduce long-term vibration impact on slot contacts.
