The ABB PM858 is an AC 800M controller processor module from ABB Automation. Its base plate has two RJ45 Ethernet ports for connection to the control network, and its memory expansion supports up to 8 GB of DDR3L. The closest Thinvent alternative with two Ethernet ports is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, which runs Windows 11 Pro and has dual LAN.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC has up to 64 GB of RAM, against the 8 GB maximum for the ABB PM858.
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC has two Ethernet ports, matching the PM858's two RJ45 ports.
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC uses the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U with 12 cores, a processor class that the ABB PM858 datasheet does not describe in our reference facts.
-
The ABB PM858 is a DIN rail controller module with a slide and lock mechanism and supports CPU redundancy, a control-system feature the Thinvent Treo Mini PC does not have.
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC has an M.2 slot for its SSD and a VESA mount, and it has a choice of operating systems including Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Linux and Thinux Embedded Linux.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the ABB PM858 when you need a certified AC 800M controller module with CPU redundancy for an ABB control network. Choose the Thinvent Treo Mini PC when you need a general-purpose mini PC with two Ethernet ports, more RAM and a choice of operating systems.
