Flexible I/O Expansion

Unique architecture supports dual expansion interfaces: AMAX-5000 EtherCAT Slice I/O modules for high-speed fieldbus connectivity, and PCIe-based DAQ modules for direct analog/digital integration.

CODESYS & IT/OT Connectivity

Supports IEC 61131-3 softlogic control and seamless IT/OT convergence via built-in CODESYS, OPC UA, and MQTT capabilities.

EtherCAT Real-Time Connectivity

EtherCAT connectivity enables deterministic communication with sub-microsecond synchronization across distributed I/O and servo drives. Supports cycle times from 500μs to 1ms for demanding motion control applications.

Open Ecosystem for Maximum Flexibility

Leveraging standard PC architecture and open protocols, AMAX integrates naturally with existing software environments, third-party tools, and future technologies—reducing complexity and long-term costs.

Enhanced Durability & Reliability

Engineered for harsh conditions with wide temperature support (up to -20~60°C) and superior shock resistance (50G) and electrical isolation.

Ultra-Compact Modular Design

Minimize footprint with ultra-compact form factors (down to 65 ×100×70 mm) and DIN-rail mounting for space-constrained installations.

Open Platform for High-Performance Automation

Why Choose AMAX-5?

Dual-Interface Modular Control Platform

The AMAX-5 Series features a unique dual-interface design in a compact form factor. The controller supports EtherCAT Slice I/O (AMAX-5000) on one side for deterministic control and PCIe expansion (AMAX-5400) on the other for integration with vision, data acquisition, and communication systems. This capability enables consolidating multiple control and I/O functions into a single, modular platform.

CODESYS Development Platform
& Industrial IoT Ready

Built on the industry-standard CODESYS platform, AMAX-5 supports proven automation development with SoftMotion libraries and IEC 61131-3 programming. Integrated OPC UA and MQTT protocols enable direct data exchange with MES/ERP systems, streamlining IT/OT integration without additional gateways.

Guaranteed Real-Time Performance

Through Intel® TCC and optimized Advantech BIOS, AMAX-5570 reduces system jitter by 90% to 20-30μs, enabling assured real-time performance with EtherCAT cycle times from 500μs to 1ms. Supports synchronized control of up to 32 motion axes for precision industrial automation.
