PAC8000 Process Control

PAC8000 Process Control is an open, easy-to-use process control engineering and management solution 

that delivers comprehensive, distributed control system functionality. 

PAC8000 Process Control is a fully integrated advanced process control and instrument 

engineering system offering configuration tools, modeling, simulation, troubleshooting utilities, project drawing management and self-documentation. 

It is a robust solution that provides the flexibility to configure control systems ranging from a few loops to thousands of points. 

A flexible, scalable design allows cost effective system expansion. 

In addition, the system's extensive use of industry standards simplifies integration with other applications. 

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.

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
