PAC8000 I/O is a completely modular I/O solution for both general purpose and hazardous area applications. It offers a wide variety of I/O functions, and has an open architecture that allows communication with a variety of different field-buses by selecting the appropriate type of Bus Interface Module (BIM) or Controller.
Field terminals (one per I/O module) snap onto the carrier and accept field wiring without the need for additional terminals or connections. They can be changed easily if damaged in the field. A comprehensive mechanical keying system ensures that equipment safety is maintained.
Carriers form PAC8000s physical and electrical backbone by providing a mounting onto a flat panel or T- or G-section DIN rail. They support and interconnect the BIM or Controller, power supplies, I/O modules and field terminals, and carry the address, data and power lines of the internal Railbus
