Product Introduction
The B&R 5AC600.GPI0-K05 is a specialized hardware component associated with the B&R Automation PC 600 platform. The part is repeatedly indexed as an industrial automation PCB, while one more specific reference identifies it as a drive-slot/storage interface module used within Automation PC 600/PC 620 systems.
The storage-interface description is worth treating cautiously. The available source claims that the module provides an internal interface for secondary storage and uses a SATA connection, but I could not verify those detailed specifications against an original B&R manual. Therefore, for engineering documentation, I would describe the 5AC600.GPI0-K05 conservatively as an Automation PC 600 internal expansion/interface board rather than asserting a particular SATA generation or supported disk capacity.
The part should not be treated as a conventional PLC CPU or field I/O module. Its function depends on the Automation PC chassis, internal connectors, installed storage hardware, and the specific PC 600 configuration.

Main Features & Field Considerations
Automation PC 600 integration
The primary confirmed association is with B&R’s Automation PC 600 family. The board is intended for installation inside the corresponding industrial PC architecture.
Internal system expansion
Available technical listings associate the board with internal storage/drive expansion. If that description is correct for the particular revision, the board provides the physical and electrical interface required for an internal drive installation.
Revision matching matters
The exact PCB revision should be checked before replacement. The same basic part designation can appear with different revision markings, and internal connector assignments can be revision-dependent.
Do not confuse model spelling
Search results contain both 5AC600.GPI0-K05 and 5AC600.GPIO-K05. For procurement, use the marking printed on the actual board and retain the complete part number.
Replacement Checks
Before replacing a B&R 5AC600.GPI0-K05, verify:
- Exact PCB marking
- Hardware revision
- Automation PC model
- Chassis revision
- Internal connector arrangement
- Installed storage device, if applicable
- Power connection
- BIOS/Automation Runtime configuration
- Existing system image and application data
- Physical mounting arrangement
If the board is part of the system’s storage path, back up the industrial PC image and application data before replacement. Replacing the interface hardware does not guarantee that the existing storage device will be immediately recognized.
Important Specification Caution
I would not publish claims such as Intel Core CPU, DDR4 memory, Windows 10 IoT, POWERLINK, PCIe expansion, or Gigabit Ethernet for 5AC600.GPI0-K05. Those specifications appear in generic descriptions of the Automation PC 600 family and are not evidence that this particular part number is itself a complete industrial PC.
Likewise, the claim that this exact board supports SATA 3.0 at 6 Gbps and drives up to 2 TB comes from a secondary listing and should be treated as unverified until matched against the specific B&R hardware revision.
Procurement Note
For procurement, use:
B&R 5AC600. — Automation PC 600 Internal Expansion / Interface PCB
When requesting a replacement, include a photograph of the PCB label, connectors, and revision marking, plus the exact Automation PC 600/620 host model. This is particularly important because available secondary documentation does not establish enough detail to safely treat every 5AC600. listing as electrically identical.
