Introduction
The ioPAC 8600 modular programmable controller supports CPU, power,
backplane, and I/O modules, giving users greater flexibility for selecting
the best module for different applications. The controllers have 5, 9, or 12
I/O slots and support both 85M series and 86M series modules. The ioPAC
8600 supports C/C++ and IEC 61131-3 programming capability,
rail-level surge and ESD protection, a -40 to 75°C operating temperature
range, anti-vibration, hot-swappability of modules, as well as two 10/100
Mbps Ethernet ports with two MACs (Port Trunking ready) or Ethernet
bypass function with one MAC. With Moxa’s MX-AOPC UA Suite, the ioPAC
8600 series provides a comprehensive solution for data acquisition and
control applications in harsh environments.
ATTENTION
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the

Module Installation (Power-Off)
The module’s PCB should align with the edge of the
frame. Push the module into the slot and make sure
the module is plugged into the backplane. Fasten the
two scr
ews using 3.5±0.5 kgf-cm of torque.
Module Installation (Power-On)
The module’s PCB should align with the edge of the frame. Push the
module into the slot and make sure the module is plugged in to the
backplane. Fasten the two screws using 3.5±0.5 kgf-cm of torque. It
could take about ten seconds for the system to recognize and activate the
module, at which point the module’s LED will turn green.
ATTENTION
When the system is powered on, do not install more than one
module at a
time. If you need to install multiple modules, wait
until the most recently installed module’s LED turns GREEN
before installing the next module.
Connecting the Power
A 24 to 110 VDC input power is applied to the positive
(V1+ and V2+) and negative
(V1- and V2-
) terminals on
the connector.
SD Card Installation
1. Remove the screw holding the microSD card cover in place.
2. Insert the microSD card into the microSD card slot.
3. Use the holding screw to fasten the cover in place.
