Introduction:
The Win-GRAF XPAC-8000-CE6 Series (XP-8038-CE6/XP-8138-CE6/XP-8338-CE6/XP-8738-CE6) is the new generation WinCE 6.0 based Win-GRAF XPAC-CE6 (Programmable Automation Controller) from ICP DAS. Each is equipped with an x86 CPU (1 GHz) (dual-core running a Windows CE 6.0 operating system), a variety of input/output ports (VGA, USB, Ethernet, RS-232/485), and I/O slots (optional 0/1/3/7 slots) that can be used to integrate high performance parallel I/O modules (high profile I-8K Series) or serial I/O modules (high profile I-87K series).
The benefits of running Windows CE 6.0 on a XPAC device include hard real-time capability, achievable deterministic control and allowing PAC to have PC-like window displays and operating environment. The PACs are capable of running Win-GRAF (IEC 61131-3 Standard) software to develop logic control applications, and they also support M.S. VS 2008 software (VB .NET, C#) to develop HMI and data management applications that can exchange data with Win-GRAF applications. So the application's design is more convenient and more practical.
Compared with the XP-8x38-CE6, the dimensions and the peripheral communication interface are completely compatible with the XP-8x48-CE6. So it can replace XP-8x48-CE6 directly.
