Performance characteristics
The S5 Link is based on a compact, industrial PC (width 254 mm, height 175 mm,
depth 410 mm) in IP class 21
Up to 3 bus lines (3 PCCs) can be connected to the S5 Link.
Generally, existing circuitry from the computer to be replaced is taken out and plugged
into the S5 Link. The following applies:
• Multiple S5 Links can be connected to an X-OS (maximum 7 PCCs per X-OS)
• One S5 Link may be distributed to multiple X-OS (maximum 3, if each only one CP is
assigned to each X-OS)
EIB or GMA are connected via the serial interface on the S5 Link (COM2 / required a
PCC).
The S5 Link can be connected to the terminal bus using 10/100 Mbits/s via an RJ45
plug (autosensing)
The S5 Link is transparent with regard to operational and monitoring, download and
test operation functions, since telegrams from and to X_OS are simply passed on.
SCO-Unix V5.02 is the operating system (the same as the current X-OS). Operating
system and application system are stored in S5 Link on a flash disk (own SCO license
required). This ensure that S5 Link restarts automatically following a power outage.
