Introduction:

The LX-8x3x is a new generation Linux based PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) of ICP DAS. Each LX-8x3x is equipped with a x86 dual-core (1.0 GHz) CPU that runs Linux operating system, it also features a variety of input/output ports (VGA, USB, Ethernet, RS-232/485), and 1/3/7 expansion I/O slots which can be used to integrate high performance I-8K (parallel-type) and I-87K (serial-type) series I/O modules.
 

Local I/O and Communication Expansion Modules

There are 1, 3, 7 slot options provided to expand the local I/O. And the I/O modules can be parallel bus type (I-8K series) or serial bus type (I-87K series).
The I/O slots support parallel bus type (I-8K series) and serial bus type (I-87K series) I/O modules. All kinds of module are provided for AI, AO, DI, AO, counter input, frequency input, PWM output, motion control, memory, communication, etc.
