A2 - PAC is the 2nd generation of the A-series all-in-one machine controller series. The A2 base units set new standards in terms of performance and communication interfaces at extremly compact dimensions.

The main features at a glance:
	
Intel® Atom™ up to Core™-i CPUs
	
Sercos or EtherCAT Master Interface
	
CAN
	
Onboard-I/Os
	
programmable with CODESYS in IEC 61131-3 or C/C++
	
	
Three different panel interfaces
	
	
	
they differ in the maximum distance between base unit and control unit. All three interfaces only need one cable for video data, touch screen, USB and serial interfaces.
	To connect a standard monitor the A2 base unit also has an HDMI interface.
	
	
	
Software (IEC 61131-3, C/C++, SCADA)
	
	
	
A2 base units are programmed with the widely spreaded IEC 61131-3 tool CODESYS. Alternatively extensive libraries for programming in C/C++ are available. This allows applications to easily access hardware resources such as fieldbus interfaces or the onboard I/Os. Machine visualizations can be easily created with CODESYS visualization or the SCADA software (WML WinMachLite).
	Of course, the realization of user interfaces in C/C++ and using tools such as Qt is possible without problem
