GE PAC8000 Remote I/O

GE PAC8000 Remote I/O

DESCRIPTION

PAC8000 Remote I/O is a completely modular I/O  solution for both general purpose and hazardous  area applications. Based upon a carrier system,  PAC8000 supports a wide range of modules and  I/O functions, including intrinsic safety signals.  An open architecture allows communication  with a variety of different fieldbuses by selecting  the appropriate type of Bus Interface Module  (BIM).

Designed to resist extreme temperatures,  humidity, corrosive materials, shocks, and  vibration, PAC8000 delivers full specification  performance in even the harshest environments.  In ATEX environments PAC8000 excels – all  components can be mounted and live worked in  Zone 2 / Division 2 and ATEX Zone 1 hazardous  areas. The I/O includes types that can be  connected directly to intrinsically safe (Exi)  or increased safety (Exe) field wiring.

PAC8000 Remote I/O integrates seamlessly with  PACSystems solutions and is connected via  PROFINET or Modbus TCP to RX3i and RSTi-EP  controllers.

Harsh & Hazardous Area Operation

PAC8000 can go where other products cannot. They can be  field mounted and subjected to the following:

· -40°C to +70°C operating range n ISA Level G3 corrosion 

· 30g shocks and 5g vibration n Operation in Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous areas   with I/O module field wiring including intrinsically safe (Exi)   and increased safety (Exe) options 

· Supports UL HAZLOC C1D1 and ATEX Zone 1 hazardous areas   with I/O module field wiring including intrinsically safe (Exi)   and increased safety (Exe) options

High Availability

PAC8000 supports PROFINET System Redundancy (PNSR),  enabling synchronized independent controllers to service the  I/O and transition from active to back-up controller without  interruption. With controllers separated up to 10 kilometers  from each other, processes will be resilient from physical  disruption. Consider unplanned downtime a thing of the past.

Variety of IO Modules

Beyond just analog and digital I/O, a broad range of PAC8000  I/O modules are available, including options for low-level  instrumentation, AC mains, and intrinsically safe signals.  4, 8, 16, and 32 field channels modules are available, and  all modules provide comprehensive diagnostic information

Easy Troubleshooting and  Machine Setup

Using integrated PAC Machine Edition (PME) software, you can  easily configure PAC8000 I/O. If you are using PROFINET then it  is even easier using the GSDML file. PME is the same software  as all PACSystems CPUs so you only need a single tool from  small to large applications. This approach utilizes the same  hardware configuration, network configuration, and  programming editors. HMI development is also streamlined  with a single tag database for QuickPanel+ HMIs.

HART Support

PAC8000 Modbus EBIM can provide HART data directly to  Emerson’s Asset Management System (AMS), allowing remote  configuration and access to field instrument diagnostic  information. PAC8000 can also acquire HART data for use in  the process controlapplication. HART devices may be selected  for regular status monitoring and alerts can be issued if the  status changes. This allows for reduced commissioning time,  reduced downtime, and reduced maintenance costs.
