General Information

Core Description

The PC56-2K-IDE is a ProSoft Technology in-rack industrial PC module featuring dual-slot hardware expansion via a 40GB IDE drive package. Fully compatible with the ControlLogix backplane, this unit works seamlessly with CLX 55XX processors to deliver high-performance custom application deployment and stable industrial data network communication.

Configuration

• Direct Backplane Data Access: Establishes immediate read and write connectivity straight into the host ControlLogix 55XX processor data tables across the backplane loop without communication routing lag.
• Pre-Installed OS Deployment: Arrives factory-commissioned with your selected Windows embedded operating platform pre-installed directly on the primary internal non-volatile storage media.
• Jumper Safe-State Booting: Features physical hardware jumper headers on the board assembly to trigger an immediate boot into SAFE STATE, instantly restoring default settings during commission crashes.
• Dynamic Database Interfacing: Coordinates with SQL engines, web servers, and local C/C++ runtime scripts using specialized ProSoft development tools to index live processor arrays.
