The ARBOR ARES-5800 is a rugged, on-board programmable controller that redefines the capabilities of embedded automation. It is built upon a fanless, cable-less, and modular design philosophy, eliminating common points of failure and ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. This controller is specifically engineered to excel in space-constrained and environmentally demanding applications, such as in-vehicle systems, industrial automation, and surveillance.

At its core, the ARES-5800 is powered by an Intel Core i5-4402E processor, delivering robust computing performance for complex control tasks. It supports up to 16GB of DDR3L memory and provides flexible storage options, including a 2.5" SATA drive bay and an mSATA socket. This combination of processing power and storage flexibility makes it an ideal platform for data-intensive edge computing and advanced automation logic.

Connectivity is a cornerstone of the ARES-5800. The controller is equipped with a rich set of onboard I/O, including two RS-232 and two RS-485 serial ports with auto-flow control, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed networking, and four USB 3.0/2.0 ports for peripheral expansion. For visual applications, it offers both DVI and DisplayPort outputs. This comprehensive I/O suite enables seamless integration with a wide array of industrial sensors, actuators, and communication networks.

Designed for the real world, the ARES-5800 operates reliably over a wide temperature range from -20°C to 55°C and can withstand high levels of vibration and shock. Its wide-range 9-36V DC power input is essential for mobile and industrial applications where power sources can fluctuate. The robust aluminum alloy chassis provides excellent heat dissipation and can be easily mounted on a wall or DIN-rail, simplifying installation and integration into existing control cabinets.
