iPAC-8000 is a compact size PAC (Programmable Automation Controller). It equips an 80186 CPU (16bits and 80MHz) running a MiniOS7 operating system, several communication interface (Ethernet, RS-232/485) and 4/8 slots to expand I/O modules.

The operating system, MiniOS7, can boot up in a very short time (0.4~0.8 seconds). It has a built-in hardware diagnostic function, and supports the full range of functions required to access all high profile I-8K and I-87K series I/O modules, such as DI, DO, DIO, AI, AO, Counter/Frequency, motion control modules, etc. And to simplify the TCP/IP software developing process, a software development template, X-Server, is provided. It implements 90% functionalities of Ethernet communication. Software engineer can easily finish the 10% remaining functionality and greatly shorten the developing time.

The iPAC-8000 is designed for applications to industrial monitoring, measurement and controlling; therefore, we made it with redundant power inputs with 1KV isolation from noise and surges, and a wide range of operating temperature (-25¢XC~+75¢XC). It is tough enough to servive in harsh and rough environments.

  1. MiniOS7 embedded operating system
    MiniOS7 was introduced in 1996 as an MS-DOS like operating system for embedded controller developers. The features of MiniOS7 include
    A. Small kernel size (64KB)
    B. Fast boot speed (0.4~0.8 second)
    C. Hardware diagnostic functions
    D. Simple command line operation over RS-232 or Ethernet
    E. Load files via RS-232 or Ethernet

  2. VxComm Technique Supported
    VxComm technique is used to create virtual COM ports on PC (for windows 2K/XP) to map remote COM ports of PDS-700, I-7188E, I-8000 and iPAC-8000 over the Ethernet. Using the technique, RS-232/485 software can access devices locally (via the physical RS-232/485 bus) or remotely (via the Ethernet). The RS-232/485 software only needs to change COM port number from the physical COM port to virtual COM port. more details.

  3. Redundant Ethernet Communication
    With the dual LAN features of iPAC-8000, user's software on PCs or other controllers can implement redundant Ethernet communication. With VxComm technique, the redundant Ethernet communication is ready. One virtual COM port on PC can map to one COM port of iPAC-8000 via two IP address. When the communication is failed (or timeout), the VxComm driver can automatically and quickly switch the virtual COM port mapping to another IP address to keep the communication.

  4. Easy-Use Software Development Template (Xserver) for TCP/IP Application
    To simplify the TCP/IP software developing process, we designed a software develop template, called XServer. It is a reliable, opened, expandable, all purposed, and easily to be used library. The Xserver implements 90% functionalities of Ethernet communication. Refer the rich demo programs we provided, software engineer can easily finish the 10% remaining funtionalities and greatly shorten the developing time.

  5. Slave I/O firmware options (for DCON or Modbus/TCP protocol)
    In some simple Ethernet I/O applications, users just want to know how to send a command to the I/O to get back a response. They don¡¦t want to develop a firmware. That is too difficult to them. Thus, we also provide two firmware for this purpose.
    a.DCON firmware
       DCON firmware supports an ASCII string based command set, called DCON protocol
    b. Modbus firmware
         Modbus firmware supports the standard Modbus/TCP protocol. SCADA software can easily access the I/O module
         plugged in the iPAC-8000.

  1. 80186 CPU (16bit and 80MHz) with 512KB Flash and 512KB SRAM
    The 512KB flash is for storing files, and the 512KB SRAM is for running programs.

  2. 64-bit Hardware Serial Number
    The 64-bit hardware serial number is unique and individual. Every serial number of iPAC-8000 is different. Users can add a checking mechanism to their AP to prevent software from pirating.

  3. Dual Battery Backup SRAM (512KB)
    To maintain important data while power off, non-volatile memory is the ideal design. The iPAC-8000 equips a 512KB SRAM with two Li-batteries to maintain data while power off. The two Li-batteries can continually supply power to the 512KB SRAM to retain the data for 5 years; and the dual-battery design can avoid data lost while replacing a new battery.

  4. I/O Module Hot Swap Ability
    The iPAC-8000 features hot swap which means that there is no need to power off the iPAC-8000 for replacing modules. And the OS provides a function sending plug-in and removing messages to user¡¦s applications. Using this feature, users can design its own plug-and-play applications.

  5. Rich I/O Expansion Ability (RS-232/485, Ethernet, FRnet, CAN)
    Beside the local I/O slots, iPAC-8000 also equips several RS-232/485 ports, two Ethernet ports to connect serial I/O and Ethernet I/O. And with FRnet and CAN communication module in local slot, FRnet I/O and CAN devices are easy to be integrated.

  6. Dual Ethernet Ports
    iPAC-8000 provides two Ethernet ports. The two Ethernet ports can be used to implement redundant Ethernet communication and separate Ethernet communication (one for global Internet, one for private Ethernet).

  7. Redundant Power Input
    To prevent theiPAC-8000 from failing by the power loss, the power module is designed with two inputs. The iPAC-8000 can keep working even one power input fails, and mean while there is a relay output for informing the power failure.

  8. Ventilated Housing Design Allows Operation Between -25¢J ~ +75¢J
    Each iPAC-8000 is housed in a plastic-based box with a column-like ventilator that can help to cool the working environment inside the box and allow the iPAC-8000 operating between -25¢XC and +75¢XC.
