The Advantech APAX-5580 is a PC-based control platform with a comprehensive range of I/O modules, communication ports and control software. It is particularly designed for integrating operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) to take advantage of Industry 4.0.

The APAX-5580 includes an Intel Celeron 1.6 GHz Core i3 or Core i7 1.7 GHz processor, 4 GB DDR3 memory, two GbE ports, one RS232/485/422 port, one mSATA connector, two SD slots, two mini PCIe slots, dual power inputs, UPS support and a 10-year lifetime RTC battery.

The unit is a complete modular system helping developers build according to their exact need without complicating the system infrastructure. With the hot-swappable design, all the modules can be swapped in and out without interrupting the operation of the IPC.

As a control platform serving smart factory applications, the APAX-5580 can easily connect to other third-party industrial devices. With integrated supporting modules, the APAX-5580 can connect to COM and CANbus 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, thus allowing a RAID 0/1 configuration.

Finally, the APAX-5435 iDoor module allows users to add additional functions such as fieldbus to suit the specific application while the APAX-5340 battery module allows the APAX-5580 to continue operation for up to two hours in the event of a power failure.
