Hardware
The A1 base unit provides all functions of an industrial PC. With its various interfaces it can be connect easily with the factory network. For the communication with field devices real-time ethernet and CAN interfaces are available on board.

scalable CPU performance: LX800, Celeron 400 bis Pentium-M 1.4 GHz

fanless

SERCOS III RT ethernet master (optional SERCOS III Slave,
EtherCAT,
Powerlink)

2 CAN interfaces

Ethernet 10/100 BaseT, 2 x USB

expandable with HD module, RAID module, UPS module, ...

various panel interfaces (std. VGA, Medium/Long Distance, Multipanel)
Software
The A1 base unit uses PC technology. Thus, beside the A1 base software, the full range of PC operating systems and applications are available - from the embedded Windows®CE operating system over Linux up to Windows®XP in combination with RAID and HD expansion modules.
The CoDeSys IEC 61131 SoftPLC makes the A1 base unit a powerful controller with integrated motion control function using SERCOS III and CAN Interfaces for the realtime communication with drives and IO's.

Operating systems: Windows®CE/XP, Linux, RT-Linux, ...
