The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech is proud to introduce their new PAC product line, the APAX-5000 series. This new generation of PACs integrates control, information processing, and networking in a single control system with a unique dual controller architecture that makes it superior to other PAC’s in the market. Advantech’s APAX-5000 series fulfill versatility, flexibility, and scalability needs to fully satisfy industrial automation industry applications. The APAX-5000 series consist of controllers, I\/O modules, backplanes, and power modules, all with excellent functionality and user-friendly I\/O design.<\/p>\n
A Unique Architecture – Dual Controllers Separate HMI and SoftLogic Tasks
\nCritical applications need reliable and non-stop systems; it is not acceptable that the I\/O processing is terminated for any reason. To reduce these operational risks, Advantech’s APAX-5000 features a unique architecture, two standalone CPU modules working together responsible for different tasks. One provides high computing power for HMI\/SCADA, recipe, database and communication tasks (APAX-5570XPE or APAX-5571XPE) while the other is dedicated for SoftLogic I\/O tasks (APAX-5520KW).
\nThis means if the HMI\/SCADA controller crashes, the I\/O processing won’t be affected and will work as normal. Engineers can simply check the HMI\/SCADA controller and maintain it without having to worry about the I\/O processing tasks. Separating HMI\/SCADA and I\/O processing tasks can prevent unexpected stoppage, decreases operational risks, and ensures higher reliability for critical control tasks.<\/p>\n
Backup System Enhances System Reliability
\nAside from the dual controller architecture, the APAX-5000 controllers also support backup functions. The same I\/O processing program can be stored on two controllers, one will execute the I\/O processing and if that controller fails, the second controller will automatically take responsibility for I\/O processing within 1.5 seconds. Users don’t need to write programs for this mechanism and the backup system enables reliability for critical applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
