iPAC-8441-G/ iPAC-8841-G
Ethernet (10/100 M) embedded controller


 

 
 
 
 


    The iPAC-8000 is a family of compact, modular, intelligent and rugged, distributed PAC (Programmable Automation Controller), designed for data acquisition and control in manufacturing, research and education. This new exciting series offers a flexible, versatile, and economical solution to a wide range of applications. From Data-Acquisition, process control, test and measurement, to energy and building management.

CThe iPAC-8000 is a modular network -based PAC with the capability of connecting I/O either through it¡¦s own dual backplane bus or alternatively through remote I/O units and remote I/O modules. The unit comprises a main control unit with a range of standard communication interfaces, and a dual backplane bus permitting I/O expansion.

    The dual backplane bus is hybrid in nature providing the facility to connect either serial (I-87K I/O) or parallel I/O modules (I-8000 I/O). The parallel bus is used for high speed data transfer application. There are various of I/O modules including Digital Input/ Output , Analog Input/ Output, Counter/ Frequency and Motion I/O modules.

    TThe iPAC-8000 can be used as an intelligent distributed data acquisition front end connected to a Host machine running a standard SCADA package, or alternatively. It can be user programmed as an autonomous controller running an embedded software application. Significant non-volatile memory is available for data and program storage.

  Support for Virtual COM technology   
 

Using the VxComm technology, PC can create virtual COM ports to map the RS-232, RS-485 of the iPAC-8441/8841. The software running on the PC can operate the virtual COM ports like a standard COM port to access the serial devices connect to the iPAC-8441/8841. That is to say, the original software developed for the serial devices can access the serial devices via the Ethernet/Internet without any modification.

Each PC can control up to 256 COM ports (including real COM ports). Using the multi serial port I/O module (I-8142,I-8144,I-8112,I-8114) , each iPAC-8441/8841 can have extra 16 COM ports.

 
     
 
 
     
 

Support Modbus Protocol

 
 

Using the Modbus firmware, iPAC-8441/8841 offers following Modbus features:  

  • Modbus/TCP/RTU/ASCII slave
  • Modbus/TCP/RTU/ASCII master
  • Gateway for Modbus/TCP to Modbus/RTU
 
     
 

Easy-to-use software development tool kits (using C language)

 
 
If the default firmware does not totally fulfill the user's application needs, custom firmware can be developed for iPAC-8441/8841 using the SDK (Xserver, Modbus library) provided by ICPDAS. 
 
     
 
Ethernet Protocols  
 
 

TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, ARP

 
     
 
Support Web Configuration 
 
 
iPAC-8441/8841 has a build-in web server for configuration. You can use standard web browsers (such as IE, Netscape, Firefox,..etc) to configure its Ethernet and COM ports configurations.
 
     
 
Remote Configuration/Maintenance  
 
 
iPAC-8441/8841 can be operated via the Ethernet (TCP/IP or UDP) or RS-232, to allow tasks such as downloading programs, configuration, updating the MiniOS7, etc.  
 
     
 
Built-in watchdog timer (WDT)
 
 
iPAC-8441/8841 include an internal watchdog timer (WDT). The watchdog timer will trigger a system reset if the main program fails or neglects to regularly service the watchdog. The intention is to bring the system back from the hung state into normal operation.  
 
     
 
Dual I/O Bus Interface
(Parallel bus for I-8000 I/O modules, Serial Bus for I-87K I/O modules)  
 
 
The iPAC-8441/8841 support both I-8000 and I-87K I/O modules. ICPDAS provides all function libraries and demo programs which can help developing customer's application.
