Controller programmable automation controller XPAC, LinPAC, WinPAC series

XP-8000 series is x86-based PAC of ICP DAS. It combines the functionality and openness of PC, the reliability of a programmable logic controller (PLC), and the intelligence of I/O modules. Compared with PC and PLC, PAC has batter price/performance. Moreover, XP-8000 can be widely used in factory automation, building automation, machine automation, laboratory automation, chemical industry, environmental monitoring, M2M…etc. WinPAC-8000 is the second generation PAC of ICP DAS. It equips a PXA270 CPU (520MHz) running a Windows CE.NET 5.0 operating system, variant connectivities (VGA, USB, Ethernet, RS-232/485) and 1/4/8 slots for high performance parallel I/O modules (high profile I-8K series) and serial-type I/O modules (high profile I-87K I/O modules). Nowadays, Linux has been adopted widely by many users because of the properties of stability, open source, and free of charge. In the mean while, owing to the great supports from more and more companies and the mature development, Linux is now becoming one of the most popular OS on the market. Furthermore the hardware requirements of Linux OS in embedded system is not high, just only 386 CPU or better and 8 MB RAM. Therefore, besides Win CE of Microsoft, Linux has been already become another good choice in embedded OS. The LinPAC-8000 is a second generation Linux-based PAC from ICP DAS and is equipped with a powerful CPU module running a Linux kernel 2.6/3.x operating system, various communication interfaces (VGA, USB, Ethernet and RS-232/485) and slots for both high performance parallel bus type (high profile I-8K series) and serial bus type (high profile I-87K series) I/O modules.
