The ioPAC 8600 modular RTU controllers are 100% modular, giving users
the freedom to choose CPU, power, backplane, communication, and I/O
modules. In addition, the ioPAC 8600 enhances the hardware system
architecture and key features of the ioPAC 8020 and ioPAC 8500 combined.
It not only preserves the dual CPU architecture to support all ioPAC
8600 I/O modules, but also adds an Ethernet bus on the backplane to
support Ethernet switch modules. The ioPAC 8600 supports the C/C++ and
IEC 61131-3 programming languages and ready-to-run services, including
Modbus, data logging, and email alarms to fulfill different customers’
requirements. With Moxa’s Active OPC Server and DA-Center data
integration software, the ioPAC 8600 series provides a comprehensive
solution for data acquisition and control applications in harsh
environments.
2-Wire Ethernet Technology
Moxa’s 2-wire Ethernet technology offers system integrators an attractive
option for upgrading the train’s IP network to a 10/100 Mbps* Ethernet
backbone with existing 2-wire cable. This innovative 2-wire Ethernet
technology supports Ethernet bypass functionality, ensuring that the
Ethernet backbone will continue to operate even if one ioPAC is without
power. As an added plus, with two 2-wire Ethernet modules in one ioPAC, the
network can reach 200 Mbps and provide a redundant architecture.
*Network performance is
related to cable quality when using 2-wire technology
Read-to-Run Service
Moxa’s ioPAC 8600 programmable controllers allow programmers to rapidly
configure services (SNMP, Modbus RTU/TCP Master/Slave, E-mail/SMS alarm
service, etc.) without writing any programs. The ioPAC can reduce the
configuration of massively distributed deployments to a few simple mouse
clicks, greatly increasing engineers’ productivity.
Automatic Carriage Sequencing (ACS)
Moxa’s Automatic Carriage Sequencing technology quickly and automatically
resets the train car sequence, without disrupting network transmissions
within the train. This technology greatly reduces the operation effort
required for trains that frequently rearrange consists. Onboard passenger
information systems can also adjust immediately when changes are made.
Compact Integrated Solution
The compact ioPAC 8600 is equipped with universal dual-power inputs that
support all railway power voltages, and a new channel-to-channel, high
voltage DI/DO module is available for use in trains that use different power
systems. The ioPAC 8600 supports a variety of communication interfaces,
including Ethernet, serial, CAN*, and MVB*. System integrators can control
or monitor sub-systems with the ioPAC 8600, which saves space and has
powerful functions to reduce both the system integrators’ budget and
installation difficulties.
*CAN
and MVB available by project request.
