Description
Product Overview
The PROCES-DATA PD5010-LCD is an industrial P-NET controller from the PD5000 Series, combining programmable control processing with a local operator interface. It uses a 32-bit Motorola 68020 processor and supports multitasking applications programmed in Process-Pascal. Unlike a conventional LCD panel, the PD5010 performs controller functions within a distributed process-control architecture while providing local access to operating information and operator commands. Its integrated display has a resolution of 256 × 64 pixels, with adjustable contrast and LED backlighting. A 48-key sealed membrane keyboard provides the operator input interface.
Communication is provided through two P-NET ports and one RS-232 serial port. The P-NET interfaces use galvanically isolated RS-485 and support the P-NET fieldbus at standard speeds of 76.8 kbaud or 9.6 kbaud. In non-P-NET operating modes, the serial channels can be configured for other communication applications. The RS-232 interface supports connection to compatible equipment such as printers, modems, and barcode readers. The controller also supports gateway applications between P-NET network sections and other communication equipment.
The PROCES-DATA PD5010-LCD includes 512 KB of Flash memory, 512 KB of lithium battery-backed RAM, and 128 KB of EPROM for operating-system storage. An optional PD5090 memory extension board can increase the available Flash and RAM capacities. A real-time clock, serial EEPROM, battery backup, and galvanically isolated alarm output support its role in process automation installations. Since the PD5010 has been discontinued, replacement planning requires particular attention to the existing Process-Pascal application, P-NET node configuration, memory contents, and communication settings. A modern HMI or PLC may provide similar functions but is not automatically compatible with the existing controller program.
Product Introduction (Non-Templated)
Replacing an older controller with an integrated operator panel is not simply a display replacement. The PD5010 combines the application processor, P-NET communication interfaces, memory, keyboard, and LCD in one assembly.
For an existing installation, preserving the Process-Pascal application and P-NET configuration is central to a successful replacement. Verify the memory backup condition and serial interface settings before removing the original controller.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the PROCES-DATA -LCD used for?
It is a programmable P-NET controller with an integrated LCD and keyboard. It handles process-control applications while providing local operator access to information and commands.
Q2: What is the display resolution of the -LCD?
The has a backlit graphics LCD with a resolution of 256 × 64 pixels. Its contrast and LED backlighting can be adjusted.
Q3: Can I hot-swap this controller?
Do not assume hot-swap capability. Follow the system shutdown procedure and determine how controller removal affects the P-NET network and connected process equipment. Preserve the application program and memory contents before replacement.
Q4: Does this support firmware v3.1?
The manufacturer’s manual identifies Process-Pascal version 3.1 or higher as the programming environment. This is not the same as confirming compatibility with a firmware release called v3.1. Check the installed operating-system revision and application requirements.
Q5: Can the communicate with other P-NET devices?
Yes. It has two galvanically isolated RS-485 P-NET interfaces. These can support P-NET communication and, in other operating modes, compatible serial communication applications.
Q6: Can PD5015 or PD5020 replace -LCD?
Not as an automatic drop-in replacement. The PD5015 uses a different LCD and keyboard configuration, while the PD5020 uses a VGA interface. Application compatibility, wiring, operator interface design, and installation dimensions must be checked.
Qthe still manufactured?
No. PROCES-DATA identifies the as discontinued. Replacement procurement should include verification of the actual unit, condition, display operation, keyboard response, communication ports, and memory backup.
Procurement recommendation: Specify PROCE / , part number 600111. Because this controller is discontinued, request photographs of the front and rear labels, confirmation that the LCD and all 48 keys function, and details of the memory backup and P-NET port test results. Preserve the original Process-Pascal application and configuration before commissioning a replacement.
