Advantech's PCM-5824 is a 3,5" SBC with an on-board, embedded 586 Class NS Geode GX1-233 processor or GX1-300 processor. Other on-board features include audio, a compact flash card socket and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. This board is a feature-packed 586-level, hassle-free solution for space critical applications.

With the PCM-5824, system engineers are able to easily upgrade their 486-based systems to 586-level due to the 586 NS GX1-233 processor mounted directly on-board. Mounting CPUs directly on board eases the configuration and installation process because there is no need to set any jumpers for speed or voltage differences between various CPUs. In addition to this ease of configuration, this CPU has been specially designed to work well in environments with temperatures of up to 60°C without the need of a fan. Eliminating the CPU fan from a system significantly reduces MTBF worries.

With its compact design, the card is only 145 x 102 mm in size and easily fits in the space of a 3" HDD. It has an on-board VGA/LCD display controller, offers CompactFlash Card support and operates on a single +5 V power supply.

Case history 189: Poor furnace temperature control.
Michael Brown Control Engineering Editor's Choice PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Many process engineers do not appreciate the importance of flow loops in their unit controls. A senior process engineer once told me that flow loops need not be tuned well, as they generally have little effect on the more important and much slower loops like temperatures and pressures.

PLCs and PACs simplify data acquisition
PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Data acquisition, data logging and data analysis are required functions for most modern industrial control systems. The simplest and lowest cost way to provide these functions is often by using the same platform that’s providing real-time control, namely the PLC or the programmable automation controller.
