iPAC-5010 Data Sheet

Introduction

The iPAC-5010 is a Linux-based, network-enabled and Web-ready programmable automation controller. It features rich digital inputs/outputs for real-world I/O controls.

Open and standard programming environment

The iPAC-5010 is a true Linux computing platform with file system support. Users can operate the iPAC-5010 the same way as they do on a normal Linux desktop.

Open-source GNU Tool Chain, including C/C++ cross-compiler and POSIX standard C/C++ library, is bundled with the iPAC-5010 for free.

Network enabled and Web ready

The iPAC-5010 provides two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports. A sophiticated Web server is pre-installed for users to implement applications which need Web-based remote monitor and controls. In addition, it is easy to add IEEE-802.11b/g WiFi support through the iPAC-5010's USB 2.0 ports.

High-speed serial interface

Also, the iPAC-5010 provides one RS-232 and one RS-485 serial ports, running up to 921.6kbps. The RS-485 port supports hardware direction control.

Opto-isolated digital inputs

The iPAC-5010 provides 16 channels of isolated digital input with opto-isolation protection up to 2500Vrms to ensure the iPAC-5010 can work properly in noisy industrial environment. Each input channel comes with a on/off status LED.

Darlington-pair digital outputs

The iPAC-5010 provides 8 channels of Darlington-pair digital output, which can drive external relays directly. Each output channel comes with a on/off status LED.

Optional 4GB SD Card for Data Storage

Users can install one standard SD Flash memory card, up to 4GB now, into the iPAC-5010 as an additional hard drive.
