I-8000 Series PAC and View PAC I/O Module

There are two types of I/O communication bus, parallelbus and serial bus. The parallel bus type I/O modules (highprofile I-8K series) are high speed ones used only in thePACs including XPAC, WinPAC, iPAC, ViewPAC, etc. And theserial bus type I/O modules (high profile I-87K series) arelow speed ones used in both PACs including XPAC, WinPAC,iPAC, ViewPAC, etc., and I/O expansion units including RU-87Pn, ET-87Pn, USB-87Pn, etc.

Parallel I/O Modules (I-8KW Series) Includes

• High speed A/D: 100 k samples/second
• High speed D/A: 30 k (-10 ~ +10 V)
• High speed DI & DO: All Digital I/O modules provide visual
• indication of status via LED indicators
• High speed stepping/Servo motion control modules
• High speed encoder modules
• High performance Counter/Frequency modules
• High speed multi-channel RS-232/422/485 modules
• CAN bus communication modules
• FRnet communication modules

Serial I/O modules (I-87KW Series) Includes

• RTD Input modules
• Thermocouple Input modules
• Strain Gauge Input modules
• VW Input modules
• High resolution multi-channel Analog Input modules
• Isolated multi-channel D/A modules
• Digital Input and Digital Output modules with Latch and
• counter function
• Counter/Frequency modules

With a range of standard communication interfaces and a dualbackplane bus permitting I/O expansion.The dual backplane bus is hybrid in nature providing the facility toconnect either serial or parallel I/O modules. 

The parallel bus isused for high speed data transfer.The unit can communicate using serial communications (RS-232, RS-485), Ethernet, or CAN bus. The Ethernet version of theproduct supports an integrated web server permitting Internet andIntranet applications.

With different communication interface, the I/O modules can be classified to high communication speed (Parallel bus) 8K series modules and low communication speed (serial interface) 87K series modules.
