APAX-5520KW can operate in two different ways. APAX-5520KW can be inserted on the backplane, and control I/O modules which are stacked together. In this way, the APAX-5520KW performs as standalone controller since it can run process program by itself.

The second way is to combine APAX-5520KW and APAX-5570XPE/5571XPE to form dual CPU architecture. Installing APAX-5520KW on the expansion slot of APAX-5570XPE/5571XPE or on the expansion backplane, the CPU of APAX-5520KW can concentrate on the I/O control process. Since there is no other tasks bothering CPU of APAX-5520KW, its control ability can deliver the best performance, providing the real-time execution.

The CPU of the APAX-5570XPE/5571XPE controller can execute other tasks such as HMI/SCADA, recipe, database, communication with other system, data logging, etc. This architecture can deliver more reliability to system when HMI software makes XP Embedded system hang on the the APAX-5570XPE/5571XPE controller, since APAX-5520KW will still continuously execute its task. APAX-5520KW with industrial standard IEC 61131-3 programming tool, Multiprog KW software and stable ProConOS, makes engineers develop their applications in shortest time and save their time-to-market.

APAX-5520CE is a very compact and cost effective controller with XScale PXA270 CPU. The built-in Windows CE operating system makes APAX-5520CE a ready application platform to shorten development time. Connecting with other APAX-5000 I/O modules, APAX-5520CE can become a standalone control system. By C/C++ and .NET libraries for the I/O modules, developers can build their applications under the Windows development environment in a short amount of time.
