Features
LinPAC-8000 is the new generation Linux-based PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) from ICP DAS and is equipped with a PXA270 CPU (520 MHz) running a Linux kernel 2.6 operation system, multiple communication interfaces (VGA, USB, Ethernet and RS-232/485) and 1/4/8 slots for high performance parallel I/O modules (high profile I-8K series) and serial I/O modules (high profile I-87K series).
Main advantage of the LinPAC-8000 is its high quality control system, including its stably properties, open source and the standard LinPAC SDK for Windows and Linux using the GNU C language, JAVA and GUI software. The main purpose of LinPAC-8000 is to allow the numerous enthusiastic Linux users to control their own embedded system easily within the Linux environment.
