Automation Controllers & Software

Advantech provides two different types of controllers for versatile applications, Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC), and distributed Data Acquisition and Control systems. Advantech PACs are designed as a single platform with multi-disciplined controller functionalities, integrated programming tools and optional HMI/SCADA software. Advantech’s ADAM-5000 series are compact distributed data acquisition and control systems, allowing field I/O devices to easily connect to PC network applications. Meanwhile, Advantech also provides versatile software to develop Data Acquisition and Control system ultimately determines its overall flexibility and usefulness.

Automation Software

Software plays a vital role in developing more effective automated data acquisition and control systems. Advantech’s advanced software solutions are more complete, more integrated and more open, providing excellent capabilities to communicate with other devices, especially for data acquisition, testing and measurement, and control applications.

Programmable Automation Controllers

Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) play an important role for CPU-heavy control tasks. PACs define the new generation of industrial controllers which feature the PC’s openness, high performance CPU, rich memory and powerful software functionality as well as PLC’s reliability and robustness. Advantech’s ADAM-5500 PAC is designed with time-deterministic logic, motion, and process control. Integrated programming tools and optional HMI/SCADA software provides flexible and easy-to-use solutions for versatile applications. Advantech’s ADAM-5500 PAC integrates SoftLogic KW software and supports HMI/SCADA software.
