A2 - Programmable Automation Controller with EtherCAT or Sercos® Master Interface - 1

A 2 Programmable Automation Controller Bluetooth, WLAN, LAN, GSM, Firewire etc. over Mini PCIe Sercos or EtherCAT Real-time Ethernet master USB Sercos® or EtherCAT Master Interface CAN and Onboard I/Os additional Onboard-CPU programmable with CoDeSys IEC 61131-3 or C/C++ Intel® Atom™ up to i-Serie CPUs The A2-PAC base units feature a variety of communication interfaces and a Mini-PCIexpress slot The A2-PAC device family combines the advantages of PC-based controls with the typical features of PLCs and motion controller. The basic version is equipped with an Intel® Atom™ dual-core CPU. With the alternatively applicable i-Series CPUs, also the most demanding control and visualization tasks can be realized. Despite its extremely compact size, all A2-PAC base units feature a variety of communication interfaces. In addition to the typical PC interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, HDMI additional interfaces for use as a machine or system control are available. The Real-time Ethernet interface supports Sercos and EtherCAT, each as a master or slave. Also already onboard available are CAN and digital I/Os . These interfaces can either be addressed by the system CPU over PCIe or the second onboard CPU. In this configuration the data exchange with the system CPU is done over a fast dual-port RAM interface. Panels can be connected to the A2-PAC base unit via a single cable up to a distance of 25m. The A2-PAC base units are programmed with CODESYS IEC 61131-3 or in C/C++. The standard operating system is Windows® CE. Other operating systems are available on demand.
