B.2 Hardware interface
The hardware interface used to access the I-7000/8000/87K series I/O modules can be divided into the following:
zRS-232:I-8000 MCU with DCON_nnn.exe or 8K232.exe firmware.
Baud Rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200bps.
Data format is: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, non-parity, 1 stop bit
zRS-485:I-7000/87K series I/O modules and I-8000 MCU with DCON_nnn.exe (or 8K485.exe ) firmware
Baud Rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200bps.
Data format is: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, non-parity, 1 stop bit
zEthernet: I-8000E MCU with E10M_nnn.exe (or 8KE10.exe) firmware
Speed: 10Mbps
Even though the I-7000/87K series I/O modules are not equipped with an Ethernet interface, by using the I-7188E/8000E in connection with the VxComm technique, they can still be accessed via the Ethernet.
Note:
1.I-8000 MCU includes 8410, 8411, 8810, 8811, 8430,8431, 8830, 8831, 8KE4, 8KE8.
2.8000E means an I-8000 MCU equipped with an Ethernet port, such as 8430, 8431, 8830, 8831, 8KE4, 8KE8.
3.Both the I-8000 and I-87K series I/O modules can be inserted into the I-8000 MCU simultaneously.
4.When the I-87K series I/O module is inserted into the I-8000 MCU, it uses the same commands as the I-8000 series I/O modules .
5.The 87K series expansion unit series includes 87K4, 87K5, 87K8, 87K9.
6.The I-87K series I/O modules use different commands when they are inserted into the I-8000 MCU and the I-87K expansion unit.
