- E3950 (1.6 ~ 2.0 GHz, 4C4T) / 8 GB SDRAM (DDR4)
Built-in VGA and HDMI Port
A built-in VGA and HDMI port can be directly connected to a regular display. Users can operate the HMI or SCADA software (running on the AXP-9000-IoT) with the display, keyboard, and mouse just as how they usually did on regular PCs.
64-bit Hardware Serial Number
The 64-bit hardware serial number is unique and individual. Every serial number of AXP-9000-IoT PAC is different. Users can add a checking mechanism to their AP to prevent software from pirating.
Rich I/O Expansion Ability (RS-232/485, USB, Ethernet)
Besides the local I/O slots, AXP-9000-IoT also provides several RS-232/RS-485/USB ports and two Ethernet ports to connect with serial/USB I/O and Ethernet I/O devices.
Vision systems ( AXP-9x5x-IoT only)
Dual Watchdog Timer
A system could be hanged up when the OS or the AP fails. There are two watchdogs (CPU watchdog and Backplane watchdog) designed to automatically reset the CPU/Backplane when the situations happen. The design will increase the reliability of the system.
Dual Ethernet Ports
AXP-9000-IoT provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The two Ethernet ports can be used to implement redundant Ethernet communication and separate Ethernet communication (one for a global Internet, one for private Ethernet).
Rugged RJ-45 connector for LAN1
LAN1
The AXP-9000-IoT is equipped with a rugged and dustproof RJ-45 connector on the LAN1 port that can protect against both liquid and dust contaminants in harsh industrial environments, as well as protection against vibration and shock.
LAN2
Screw-lockable RJ-45 connector on the LAN2 port and there are screw holes (spacing 20mm) on both sides of the RJ45 connector, you can lock the RJ45 cable connector with them, to reduce the risk of the Ethernet cable falling off due to vibration occurring. Meanwhile, you can also choose a general RJ45 cable connector for your needs.
Power/Communication spring clamp terminal connector
The spring clamp terminal block that is used for the Power/Communication connector in the XP-9000-IoT offers advantages including anti-vibration, stable clamping, and easier installation.
Metal Enclosure
The AXP-9000-IoT features a durable metal casing to provide high levels of impact resistance and flame resistance and higher protection on EMS or other electromagnetic noises.
Redundant Power Inputs
To prevent the AXP-9000-IoT from failing by the power loss, the power module is designed with two inputs. The AXP-9000-IoT can keep working even one power input fails, and meanwhile, there is a relay output for informing the power failure.
Fanless Design with Wide Operating Temperature Range
With the fanless design for embedded applications, the operating temperature range is -25°C to +60°C for the AXP-9x9x-IoT series.

Local I/O Expansion
e-Bus new generation high-speed bus interface
ICP DAS fully supports the new generation of high-speed bus interface (e-Bus) in the new generation flagship controller (AXP/ALX9000). In addition to the maximum speed of up to 2GB/s (e-Bus x4) and 500MB/s(e-Bus x1), it also supports DMA (Direct memory access) data transmission without the need for the central processing unit to intervene in processing. Under the burden of the processor at the same level, DMA is a fast data transfer method, which can provide a large amount of data transmission and high-speed data comparison of the expansion module, and improve the working efficiency of the controller.
ICP DAS utilizes the powerful performance of the e-Bus bus interface to fully develop a new generation of e-9K I/O expansion modules, and fully demonstrate the performance of e-Bus on the new generation flagship controller (AXP/ALX9000) to provide customers with the high-cost performance ratio.
I-9K and I-97K series modules are provided for combining a variety of I/O functions within the WP-9000, XP-9000, LX-9000, and LP-9000 programmable automation controllers (PAC). The I-9k series is based on a parallel interface with high communication speed; while the I-97K series is based on a serial interface.
The differences between the three series are listed as follows:
| Model | e-9K Series | I-9K Series | I-97K Series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communication Interface | e-Bus Bus | Parallel Bus | Serial Bus |
| Protocol | - | - | DCON |

Remote I/O Expansion
Ethernet
The available Ethernet I/O devices are ET-7000, ET-7200, ET-87P4/8-MTCP and I-8KE4/8-MTCP. The PAC can access them in Modbus/TCP protocol. A nModbus.dll is provided for C#, VB.net programming.
RS-485
The PACs are equipped with the RS485 COM ports which enable the transmission rate up to a maximum of 115.2 Kbps. The medium for connection is a twisted-pair, multi-drop, 2-wire RS-485 network that can link I-7000, M-7000, RU-87Pn with high profile I-87K modules. To access M-7000, a nModbus.dll is provided for C#, VB.net programming. To access I-7000 and RU-87Pn with high profile I-87K modules, PACSDK is provided for C#, VB.net, VC and VB programming.
FRnet
FRnet is an innovative industrial field bus that has many special features, such as high-speed deterministic I/O control, real I/O synchronization capabilities, non-protocol communication, and easy programming. With a FRnet communication module (I-8172W), the PAC can link FRnet I/O modules to implement high-speed distributed I/O (FR-2000 series). To access I-8172W, a pac_i8172w.dll is provided for C#, VB.net, VC and VB programming.
CAN Bus
The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication way, which efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. It provides the error-processing mechanisms and concepts of message priority. These features can improve the network reliability and transmission efficiency. Furthermore, CAN supplies the multi-master capabilities, and is especially suited for networking“intelligent” devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or a sub-system. With I-8123, I-8124, I-87120, the PAC is able to demonstrate every feature of CAN, CANopen, and DeviceNet.
