2021 Engineers’ Choice Awards

2021 Engineers’ Choice Awards

Advantech is pleased to announce that AMAX-5580 has won the Industrial Internet of Things Connectivity – Edge Controller for Control Engineering 2021 Engineers’ Choice Awards!

Production data and equipment data are becoming the core driving force of digital transformation and the upgrade of production lines. Traditional digital upgrade solutions require a combination of products with functions for diverse fields such as PLCs, PCs, gateways, SCADA software, etc. However, system architecture was often complex and integration difficult with high costs and significant security risks involved.

Facing this trend, Advantech introduced the compact etherCAT controller and slice I/O - designed with the smallest programmable automation controller (PAC) in the Core i class processor, modular I/O, and a PCIe communication interface. It integrates gateway, motion control, I/O data acquisition, fieldbus, machine vision, and device networking into one control platform, which provides users with a solution that is both easy to integrate and easily scalable. With its high-performance processing capabilities, open platform, and powerfully solid expansion capabilities, providing automation manufacturers with better IoT solutions.
