GE 8127-DI-SE 32-channel SOE module

Overview 

PAC8000 Hybrid Control provides a fully integrated solution for process control,

logic automation and strategy development. 

PAC8000 Hybrid Control provides a process engineer with the tools to design, implement, document, 

and maintain a process control system using advanced control strategies. 

PAC8000 Hybrid Control consists of a number of open system components. 

 The PAC8000 Hybrid Workbench is an integrated development environment that centralizes and coordinates project data including instrument indexes, 

control strategies (process and logic) and project management. 

It configures the control logic and generates an export database to create the operator (HMI) database. 

 A rugged field-mountable Control Platform, consisting of the PAC8000 Hybrid controller (8521- HC-MT) and the 8000 Process I/O system. 

PAC8000 Controllers are used in conventional distributed control architectures, 

with the I/O modules connected directly to the Controllers. 

The same I/O modules may be used in remote IO architectures.

Benefits of PAC8000 Controllers

• Controller Options PAC8000 Controllers include a Process Controller featuring DCS style function block programming, 

a Logic Controller with 61131-style PLC programming, and a Hybrid Controller that provides the capabilities of both. 

An RTU Controller is also available, providing DNP3 communication. 

The SIL 2 SafetyNet Controller is also part of the PAC8000 family.

• I/O Modules A broad range of PAC8000 I/O modules are available to meet the needs of different applications.

All modules provide comprehensive diagnostic information. 

Analog and discrete output modules are typically 8-channel, with 8-, 16- or 32-channel discrete input modules. 

Up to 64 modules can be mounted on each node.

• Environmental and Hazardous Area Operation PAC8000 can go where other products cannot.

They can be field mounted and will operate under the following conditions: 

• -40°C to +70°C operating range

• ISA Level G3 corrosive atmospheres • 30g shock and 5g vibration

• Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, with I/O field wiring including intrinsically safe (Exi) and increased safety (Exe) options.

Open communications

MTL Open System Technologies products are just that - open. SafetyNet nodes

communicate with one another, with standard MOST nodes, historian and asset

management packages and with HMI packages over a fault tolerant Ethernet LAN,

running at up to 100 Mbit/s.

PAC8000 delivers full-specification performance in a broad range of harsh process environment conditions; extreme

temperatures, humidity or corrosives and conditions subject to shock and vibration. 

In ATEX environments, PAC8000 also excels. 

All components can be installed and maintained in Zone 2/Division 2 hazardous areas. 

The I/O includes modules that can be connected directly to Intrinsically Safe (Exi) or Increased Safety (Exe) field wiring. 

PAC8000 provides comprehensive diagnostic data on controllers, Bus Interface Modules (BIM), 

I/O modules, field wiring and field instruments, allowing users to respond to issues quickly and effectively.

Features

• 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

• Returns commoned internally

• Pulse counting option

• 24 V dc bussed field power required
