• PCD2.M5xx0

  • Central processing units

Due to its flat housing design, the SBC PCD2.M5xxx is especially suitable for space-saving applications. The powerful CPU enables the control and regulation functions of complex applications with up to 1,023 central data points. The PCD2 can be expanded by means of plug-in memory modules to become a Lon IP® or BACnet®-enabled controller. The PCD2 has communication interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, RS-485 and AutomationServer On-Board.
