It features communication ports such as GbE, USB 3.0, mPCIe and serial ports. The APAX-5580 includes and Intel Celeron 1.6 GHz/Core i3/Core i7 1.7GHz processor, 4GB DDR3 memory, two GbE ports, one RS-232/485/422 port, one mSATA connector, two SD slots, two mini PCIe slots, dual power input, UPS support, and a 10-year battery. The APAX-5580 is a modular system designed to help developers build a system to meet their exact needs without complicating their system infrastructure.

As a control platform serving smart factory applications, the APAX-5580 can connect to other third-party industrial devices. The APAX-5580 features CODESYS and is able to provide a whole host of extra functions such as real-time Ethernet protocol and programming by IEC-61131-3. It uses target visualization via a connected screen and/or the web visualizations on remote devices via a web browser, which enables controllers to be configured and operated using a web server via the Internet or intranet.
