Click2Contact

The APAX-5580 DIN-Rail IPC from Advantech is a modular IPC, designed for serving smart factory applications and for integrating OT and IT.

The product is a PC-based control platform with I/O modules, communication ports and control software. It includes an Intel Celeron 1.6 GHz/Core i3/Core i7 1.7 GHz processor, 4 GB DDR3 memory, 2 x GbE ports, 1 x RS232/485/422 port, 1 x mSATA connector, 2 SD slots, 2 mini PCIe slots, dual power input, UPS support and a 10-year lifetime RTC battery. Operation of up to 2 h is possible in battery mode in the event of a power failure.

The unit is a complete modular system helping developers build according to their needs without complicating the system infrastructure, reducing the amount of time and effort needed in configuration. With the hot-swappable design, all the modules can be swapped in and out without interrupting the operation of the IPC, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

With integrated supporting modules, the product can connect to COM and CANbus devices as well as other third-party industrial devices. An APAX-5430 SATA module allows the addition of another SATA SSD/HDD drive, in addition to the one that comes with the APAX-5580, allowing a RAID 0/1 configuration. The product's iDoor module also allows users to add other functions such as Fieldbus.

The product, having partnered with CODESYS, is also able to provide extra functions such as real-time Ethernet protocol and programming by IEC61131-3, using target visualisation via a connected screen and/or the web visualisation on remote devices via a web browser.
