Overview

The NovaTech 8000 Series I/O is the newest remote I/O family native to the D/3® Process Automation System (PAS). It is the preferred I/O for new installations and it can replace the older NovaTech 16000 series I/O

in existing PCM cabinets, using existing field wiring connected to new termination panels with existing connectors.

With its -40 to +70° temperature range and G3 cor- rosive coating, the NovaTech 8000 Series I/O is an I/O system designed for field mounting. It connects to conven-tional and smart field devices through multi- channel I/O modules. The modules communicate, via a fast internal bus, with redundant Ethernet Bus Inter- face Modules (EBIMs) which provide dual-redundant high speed Ethernet data connections to the D/3®.

Up to 64 I/O modules can be supported within a single 8000 Series node, and each module has between 4 and 16 channels. An EthernetMPC card can support up to 50 nodes. With the availability of intrinsically safe modules, 8000 Series I/O provides a solution for both general purpose and hazardous area applications - even within the same node.

Designed for use with PCM 4100 or PCM 4200 PCI- based PCMs, it requires an Ethernet Multi Protocol Controller (EthernetMPC) card and D/3® version 12.2-2 or higher.

Product Catalog

Key Features

•Wide range of input and output types, in any mix

•Up to 64 I/O modules per node

•Up to 50 nodes per EthernetMPC card

•Wide operating temperature range, -40 to +70°C

•General-purpose and intrinsically-safe I/O within a single node

•Redundant Local Area Networks (LAN) and power supplies supported

•High channel density

•Zone 2 and Division 2 hazardous area mounting as standard

•I/O module hot-swapping even in Zone 2 and Divi- sion 2

•HART® pass-through supported

•Rugged construction, optimized for true field mount- ing

•Integrated (per-channel) fusing and loop-disconnect facility

•Bussed field power on carriers eliminates daisy-chain wiring at field terminals

•Sophisticated mechanical keying system eliminates risk to plant and personnel

8000 Series connects to both conventional (such as 4-20mA) and smart field devices. It allows the cost benefits of fieldbus to be enjoyed with existing field instruments—ideal for plant upgrades and expan- sions. Pass-through of HART® information between HART® instruments and the D/3® network is possible.

8000 Series nodes can be located within, and con- nected into, a hazardous area where there is a risk of explosion from flammable gases. The standard, general purpose system is approved for operation in a Zone 2 or Class I, Division 2 hazardous area, with field devices in a similarly classified area. I/O modules with intrinsically safe field circuits can be connected to certified devices in Zone 0 and Class I, II, III, Division 1 hazardous areas.

Enclosures are also available for application where the Series 8000 node must be located in a Zone 1 or Divi- sion 1 area—consult NovaTech for availability.
