Advantech AMAX-5000 EtherCAT slice I/O and controller

Click2Contact

The AMAX-5000 series EtherCAT Slice I/O and Controller is designed with the smallest programmable automation controller (PAC) in the Core i class, modular I/O and a PCIe communication interface. With this series, equipment manufacturers can easily set EtherCAT I/O modules to perform tasks such as data acquisition, detection and machine control. When it comes to integration, manufacturers will also benefit from cloud platform and IT/OT integration from the PAC’s open architecture.

Included in the AMAX-5000 series is the AMAX-5580 embedded controller. Its compact size (13.9 x 10 x 8 cm), and featuring a built-in 6th Generation Intel Core i processor, saves space while providing optimal computing performance. The AMAX-5580 supports CODESYS software that industrial equipment manufacturers can use for program development and testing. It also provides a VGA and HDMI dual display interface to facilitate equipment status visualisation.

The AMAX-5000 series is a core platform for Advantech’s Edge SRP software and hardware integration solutions. It can be integrated with third-party software, making it easier for industrial equipment manufacturers to develop smart IIoT applications. For predictive equipment maintenance applications, after configuring the acquisition and analysis software on the AMAX-5580, the EtherCAT I/O module allows operators to rapidly collect data remotely and obtain equipment status and diagnostics.
