Section 1 Introduction
The iDCS-8000 is distributed modular I/O which communicates with numerous controllers. The iDCS-8000
provides easy installation of the I/O modules and process cabling. It is highly modularized and flexible, so
that I/O modules can be combined to suit many applications. The iDCS-8000 can be mounted in many
configurations to fit most requirements, both in single or fully redundant applications.
1.1 Product Overview
The iDCS-8000 is a modular remote I/O system. It provides easy installation of the I/O modules and
process cabling. It is highly modularized and flexible, so that the I/O modules can be combined to suit
many applications including the most types of signals, digital, analog, counter and HART.
The station of an iDCS-8000 system consists of power module, communication module, I/O modules and
termination board. The power module provides the isolated power to iDCS-8000 system. The
communication module is the interface to the iDCS-8000 I/O modules. The iDCS-8000 I/O modules sense
or control the device in the field. Termination boards are used to connect between signals to/from the
field and I/O modules. All of these modules can be configured into single or redundant operation.

1.2 Feature
The iDCS-8000 is an open comprehensive, distributed, process I/O system. It communicates with
controller over industry-standard field buses. It brings benefit for users install to iDCS-8000 in the field, to
close to sensors and actuators, to reduce the installation cost by reducing the cost of cabling.
Comprehensive
The iDCS-8000 offers cost-effective solutions to practically all needs for field-device, including basic
analog and digital I/O, pulse and HART, as well as high-integrity solutions.
Flexible
The I/O modules plugged in iDCS-8000 station can be configured into single or redundant operation.
Users can easily upgrade I/O security in a same station by adding same I/O module and configuring
into redundant operation without any additional wiring.
Wide industry-standard support
The iDCS-8000 provides connectivity to most popular industry-standard to communicate with
controller, and makes iDCS-8000 I/O compatible with various controller or PLC.
The up-to-date I/O
The I/O modules plugged in the iDCS-8000 station will automatically update I/O data to
communication module. This feature not only decreases the delay for updating I/O data but also
acquire the up-to-date I/O data.
I/O redundant switching < 1ms
The iDCS-8000 features a tiny time for I/O redundant switching within maximum 1ms.
Reliable
The iDCS-8000 offers availability-improving feature such as:
-Hot swap of modules. A faulty I/O module can be replaced on-line without powering the station
down and without affecting the rest of the station.
-The iDCS-8000 system also ensures that only right type of modules can be inserted when to
replace on-line.
-Automatically re-configure same parameter when plugging a replaced module.
-Redundancy options in all modules, power, communication, I/O.

Hardware Structure Section 1 Introduction
iDCS-8000 Hardware User Manual (2013/8/14, Rev: 1.43) 9
1.3 Hardware Structure
The iDCS-8000 is made by the combination of components of the backplane, power modules,
communication modules, I/O modules and an termination board.
Backplane
The backplane consists of 2 slots of power, 2 slots of communication and 8 single or 4 pairs of
redundant I/O modules.
Power Module
It provides the power to the system. It also bypasses 24VDC to the I/O module to support passive loop.
This module has hot-swappable and redundant functions.
Communication Module
This module is a configurable communication interface that performs operation such as signal
processing, automatically re-configuration, HART pass-through and configuration of I/O modules.
The module connects to the controller or PLC through of the most popular industrial fieldbuses.
I/O Module
The iDCS-8000 I/O modules can be inserted and removed from backplane without disturbing system
operation.
Termination Board
The termination boards provide the connection to the field. It also reduces the wiring and installation
effort.
