Tutto sui PLC: la CPU
A practical engineering guide to PLC CPU operation, from deterministic scan cycles and I/O image tables to memory, communications, diagnostics, redundancy, processor sizing, and reliable system...
Serving as the structural and electrical backbone for industrial gas detection networks, the Honeywell 05701-A-0516 accommodates up to eight System 57 control cards in a secure, rack-mountable chassis. This sub-rack houses the passive backplane interface, enabling direct point-to-point connections between external field sensors, power distribution systems, and dedicated control modules. Engineered for high-density environments, its robust structural design ensures long-term physical integrity and reliable electrical contact pins, minimizing signal degradation under typical industrial vibration and thermal cycling conditions.
| Manufacturer | Honeywell |
|---|---|
| Model Number | 05701-A-0516 |
| System Series | System 57 |
| Module Capacity | 8 control card slots |
| Mounting Profile | 3U height, half-width profile |
| Operating Temperature | -10 to +50 degC |
| Storage Temperature | -25 to +55 degC |
| Humidity Limits | 0 to 90% RH, non-condensing |
| Shipping Weight (Calculated) | 2.0 kg |
| Connection Group | Function / Circuit Assignment |
|---|---|
| DC Power Input | Dual terminal blocks for primary and secondary redundant DC supply lines. |
| Individual Card Backplane | Dedicated multi-pin connectors for matching 5701 control card edge interfaces. |
| Earth Ground Stud | Heavy-duty M5 grounding post for panel and cable shield drain wire termination. |
The 05701-A-0516 is a half-width 8-way sub-rack, offering a highly compact alternative to the full-width 16-way 05701-A-0502 sub-rack. Ensure that mechanical keying pins on the passive backplane are configured correctly prior to card insertion, as inserting a card into a slot keyed for a different sensor type can damage the internal backplane traces.
When configuring a fully populated 8-way sub-rack, calculate the combined maximum current draw of all cards under alarm states (when relay coils are energized and sensor currents peak) to size the external power supply properly. Do not block natural convective airflow; provide at least 50mm of clear space above and below the chassis in enclosed cabinets to prevent thermal accumulation.
Ensure the sub-rack chassis ground stud is bonded directly to the main instrument clean earth bar with low-impedance copper conductors. For analogue sensor wiring, run shielded twisted-pair cables and terminate the shields only at the sub-rack end to prevent disruptive ground loops.
CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING
Isolate and lock out all power sources before mounting or wiring the sub-rack. Do not insert or remove control cards while the backplane is energized. Failure to comply can cause electrical arcing, damage sensitive solid-state components, and trigger accidental system alarms.
