This chapter provides an overview of the ALX-9000 and its components, introducing basic 

concepts to users familiar with the ALX-9000. 

 

 

 

The ALX-9000 are Linux-based PACs that combine computing, I/O, and operator interface 

into a single unit, and provide the perfect solution for data acquisition and control in an 

individual PAC. 

It is equipped with an Intel Core E3950 CPU, 1/3/7 I/O expansion slots and a variety of 

connectives including dual Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, HDMI, USB port 2.0/3.0, RS-232 and 

RS-485 interface. Local I/O slots are available to use our I-9K and I-97K,e-9K series I/O 

modules and remote I/O expansions are available to use our Ethernet I/O modules and 

RS-485 I/O modules.
