Note
The controller’s working voltage range is 12 V to 48 V DC. The voltage limits are 12 V and 50 V DC. If the voltage exceeds 50 V, the controller is guaranteed to fail. If the voltage falls below 12 V, the controller turns off.
| Controller name | Controller weights | Controller dimensions | Storage temperature range | Working temperature range for earth conditions |
| 8SMC5 (controller board without case) | 93 g | 46x126,75x31,81 mm | -40 °C to 80 °C | 5 °C to 60 °C |
| 8SMC5-USB-B8-1 | 500 g | 66x46x114 mm | -20 °C to 70 °C | |
| 8SMC5-USB/Eth-B8-1 | 510 g | |||
| 8SMC5-USB-B9-2 | 621 g | 122x45x106 mm | ||
| 8SMC5-USB/Eth-B9-2 | 631 g |
Note
The controller was not tested in a vacuum. Most likely, the controller will work in a vacuum, but it is important how the heat will be removed from the body.
