AC800M / System 800xA Processor Modules
The PM861A is a compact, efficient processor module leveraging ARM Cortex‑A9 architecture for smooth and reliable execution of control logic within distributed control systems. It includes onboard RAM, real‑time clock, LED indicators, INIT push button, and CompactFlash interface. Dual Ethernet ports and serial interfaces ensure strong communication and redundancy in demanding industrial environments.
The module is widely used in:
System automation across manufacturing, chemical, and energy industries
Precision power management and distribution systems
Advanced process control in buildings, infrastructure, and critical systems
As a CPU unit in distributed I/O systems requiring compact, redundant processing
Reliable, fault‑resilient design with redundancy features (Ethernet, CPU, CEX‑Bus)
Compact form factor, easy DIN‑rail installation with slide‑and‑lock mechanism
Multiple communication ports—including dual RJ45 Ethernet and isolated serial for configuration
Hardware identity via unique Ethernet address and on‑board diagnostics
Balances performance and cost‑effectiveness for scalable control systems
