Scalable ArchitectureFlexible storage and connectivity expansion- 64GB eMMC + M.2 NVMe SSD (up to 512GB)
- Micro SD slot + 8GB LPDDR4 RAM for multitasking

Differentiation

High-Density I/O & Dual CAN: Eliminate expansion modules with 8 isolated DI/DO and 2×CAN 2.0B interfaces for direct device connectivity (sensors, actuators, vehicle ECUs).

PLC-Grade Real-Time Performance: CODESYS RTE enables 64-axis motion control at 1ms cycles, 40% cost reduction vs. traditional PLCs.

Industrial-Grade Isolation: 5KV isolation on DI/DO, 3KV on CAN/RS485, ensuring superior EMI/surge resistance in harsh environments.

Instant Power Backup: Supercapacitor + RTC backup secures critical data for 30-60s during outages, no battery maintenance required.

Typical Applications

🏭 Multi-Axis Production Line Control: Synchronize 16 servo axes via EtherCAT for high-speed packaging/injection molding machines.

🚗 Automotive Testing Systems: Dual CAN buses for real-time ECU communication and sensor data logging.

Smart Grid Protection: Monitor circuit breakers (8 DI) and control relays (8 DO) with Modbus TCP/SCADA integration.

📡 Edge-to-Cloud Gateways: Aggregate equipment data via OPC UA/MQTT while maintaining local control via dual Ethernet ports.
