PAC8000 Remote I/O The Control Solution for Process Industries 
 Introduction 
 PAC8000 Remote I/O is a completely modular I/O solution   for both general purpose and hazardous area applications. Based upon a carrier system, PAC8000 supports a wide range of modules and I/O functions, including intrinsic safety signals. An open architecture allows communication with a variety of different fieldbuses by selecting the appropriate type of Bus Interface Module (BIM). Designed to resist extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosive materials, shocks, and  vibration, PAC8000 delivers full specification performance in even the harshest environments. In ATEX environments PAC8000 excels –   all  components can be mounted and live worked in   Zone 2 / Division 2 and ATEX Zone 1 hazardous areas.   The I/O includes types that can be  connected directly to intrinsically safe (Exi) or increased safety (Exe) field wiring. PAC8000 Remote I/O integrates seamlessly with PACSystems solutions and is connected via  PROFINET or Modbus TCP to RX3i and RSTi-EP controllers.
Harsh & Hazardous Area Operation 
 PAC8000 can go where other products cannot. They can be f ield mounted and subjected to the following:-40°C to +70°C operating range ISA Level G3 corrosion 30g shocks and 5g vibration Operation in Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous areas with I/O module field wiring including intrinsically safe (Exi) and increased safety (Exe) options Supports UL HAZLOC C1D1 and ATEX Zone 1 hazardous areas with I/O module field wiring including intrinsically safe (Exi) and increased safety (Exe) options
High Availability 
 PAC8000 supports PROFINET System Redundancy (PNSR),   enabling synchronized independent controllers to service   the I/O and transition from active to back-up controller   without interruption. With controllers separated up to   10 kilometers from each other, processes will be resilient   from physical disruption. Consider unplanned downtime   a thing of the past.
