Yokogawa intelligent edge controller

Yokogawa of America’s OpreX Intelligent Edge Controller A8 is part of the OpreX Control Devices portfolio. The A8 is designed to deliver real-time control, software architecture and development efficiency. The A8 is a next-generation embedded equipment controller built on Linux Ubuntu 24.04 with applied real-time patches to ensure high-speed responsiveness and reliable deterministic performance. Leveraging decades of control technology from the Yokogawa FA-M3 and e-RT3 families, the A8 introduces a software development framework called Data Stream. Data Stream unifies device access and continuously streams I/O data for intuitive, tag-based interaction, shifting development from hardware-dependent coding to a fully data-centric approach that boosts reusability and shortens engineering cycles. Coupled with a control function library, including motion control, PID control and EtherCAT MainDevice support, the A8 is designed to enable rapid system integration.
