Control IPC Overview Introduction
Intelligent System 3 2 IndustrialServer 1 Software and Industry Solutions
Advantech offers PAC solutions designed for industrial automation applications that combine the openness and flexibility of PCs with the reliability of traditional automation controllers such as PLCs. Advantech’s APAX series utilizing sophisticated thermal designs to ensure system stability. The APAX series support Windows CE, Windows 7/10, and Linux operating systems. Advantech’s control IPCs are ideal platforms for implementation in diverse applications such as power/energy, transportation, machine automation, factory automation, building automation, facility management systems, environment monitoring, and more. Real-Time Control IPC: APAX Series APAX series are Ethernet-enabled controllers that allow users to deploy I/O modules in flexible expansion combinations such as direct stack or daisy-chain. The control performance and functionality of this series are better than not only PLCs but also most PC-based controllers. Features including versatile CPU modules, I/O modules designed as reliable as PLC I/Os, high-density I/Os with LEDs, hot-swap, and stackable functionality are delivered. Both C/C++, the .NET library, and IEC 61131-3 languages are provided as programming tools.

Intelligent HMI and Monitors
Advantech CODESYS For traditional PLC controllers, the development environment will vary depending on the PLC supplier, and different PLCs are not compatible with each other. Advantech's control IPC adopts the international standard IEC 61131-3, which is based on PLCopen and was established to standardize multiple languages, sets of instructions, and different concepts in the field of automation systems. Therefore, programming languages that comply with the IEC 61131-3 standard, usually called SoftLogic software, enable users to leverage PLC-world typical programming interfaces. Additional benefits of our control IPC include portability between platforms and a shortened learning curve relative to traditional PLCs.
Advantech CODESYS Advantech supports all kinds of CODESYS runtime, including RTE, SoftMotion, and CNC, which are based on the Windows Embedded 7 operation system. Its runtime supports not only SoftLogic control but also visualization, including both Target (local HMI) and Web (browser-based). CODESYS can help to make Advantech control IPCs gain real- time logic control and HMI with a single control platform. Advantech has also developed cloud connectivity plugin packages, including the WebAccess/SCADA support, ODBC database direct connection function blocks, and OPC/UA server support. These can help users establish upstream communication for Industry 4.0 applications.
