1. Main Control Unit (MCU):
The MCU is the powerhouse of the I-8000. Each MCU is comprised of a central
processor module (CPM), a power supply, and a four (4) or eight (8) slot
backplane for either 4 or 8 Parallel I/O modules. The CPM is a powerfully
integrated processing engine consisting of a CPU, RAM, ROM, and an option of
communication interfaces including RS-485, Ethernet and CANbus.

■Supports Modbus/TCP communication protocol to access I/Os that plugged 
 in slots.
■Supports VxComm technique for every COM port of controllers.
■Supports 8K and 87K DI/DO/AI/AO modules.
 Please refer detail list in Modbus Utility on-line help.
■Automatically scan I/O modules.
You can plug I/O modules in any slot. Don’t mind the slot order, it doesn
mater
■Allowed a maximum of 8 host PCs access simultaneously.
 In fact, it can allow 16 host PCs access simultaneously.
 But for getting better stability, we recommend you don’t use more than 8 host 
 PCs to access a Modbus/TCP controller.
■Firmware updateable
Modbus SDK ( in C language )
We provide Modbus SDK to users. You can use it to integrate several serial
devices. Thus the controller can be a Modbus/TCP slave and Modbus/RTU
master. The Modbus SDK has below features:
■Supports extra user-defined command protocol
■Register based programming method (easy to use)
■Can link Modbus/RTU slave devices
■Supports user-defined registers
■Can link to non-standard serial devices
■Xserver SDK compatible

Intelligent CANopen Remote
I/O Devices
Why CANopen ?
CANopen, a kind of network
protocols, is based on the intelligent
field bus (CAN bus). It was developed
as a standardized network system
with highly flexibility, and provides
several standardized communication
objects for real-time data,
configuration data, network
management data, and so forth. The
CANopen network management
services simplify project design, system integration, and diagnostics. By now,
CANopen is used in many various application fields, such as medical
equipment, off-road vehicles, maritime electronics, public transportation,
building automation and etc. Please refer to the web site http://www.can-cia.org
for more information.
CANopen Remote I/O modules
I-8KCPS1/I-8KCPS2/I-8421 are specially
designed for the slave device of CANopen
protocols. They can support up to 4
expansion slots to expand their I/O channel
numbers. Users can choose either the I-87K
or the I-8000 series DI/DO/AI/AO slot
modules to fit their customized practice
applications. In addition, we also provide the
CAN Slave Utility to create EDS files
dynamically. This EDS file is helpful to apply
these module in different CANopen master.

Intelligent DeviceNet Remote
I/O Devices
Why DeviceNet?
DeviceNet is one kind of the network
protocols based on the CAN bus and mainly
used in industrial automation, such as
injection molding machinery, textile machinery,
printing or packaging machines, etc. It is a low
level network that provides connections
between simple industrial sensors/actuators
and higher level devices. There are some
DeviceNet features shown below.
• Multi-vendor interoperability
• Fast, easy installation - resulting in space and time savings
• Future-ready, for easy additions as your needs expand and change
• Improved uptime through intelligent insight into device operations
• Efficient bandwidth utilization through producer/consumer communications
• On-the-fly configuration/re-configuration and additions without powering down
DeviceNet Remote I/O Modules
I-8KDNS1, I-8KDNS2 and I-8x20 are the small/middle size DeviceNet slave
devices. These devices offer a flexible I/O selection and useful utility tool to
build a variety DeviceNet application. They not only support most of ICPDAS
I/O modules but also provide up to 4 expansion slots to expand the I/O
channels. By using the other ICPDAS DeviceNet devices integrations, users
can easily build their DeviceNet network for their different application.

I-8438/8838 is the ICP DAS MATLAB PAC solution built in Ethernet and series
interface with I/O expansion slots for Matlab development environment. For this
application there are over 20 I/O bridges and system-level Simulink Blocksets
have been developed. By using Simulink development environment and these
Matlab Driver’s blocksets, control algorithm can be easily constructed and
verified without writing any code. Once the algorithm has been verified, by
pressing a "build" button, users can convert a model to executable code, and
download it to I-8438/8838 PAC for test or practical application by RS232 and
Ethernet. Furthermore, engineers can put more focus on advanced control
algorithm design and development.
