SafetyNet IO Modules interface to safety system field wiring via Field Terminals. The IO Modules and the Field Terminals mount on
Carriers that provide mechanical support, but also connect the internal communication bus and power supply connections to the
Modules. The IO Modules are certified as suitable for use in SIL 2 safety-related applications.
• Certification
The SafetyNet IO Modules are
certified for use in safety-related
applications up to and including SIL 2.
The SafetyNet System achieves this
certification with a 1oo1D architecture.
The SafetyNet IO Modules have been
designed specifically for safety-related
applications and are certified on the
basis of the excellence of their design.
The certification does not depend on
“proven in use” data.
• Diagnostics
The IO Modules perform
comprehensive internal diagnostic tests
as an essential part of ensuring that
the IO can carry out the required safety
function. If the SafetyNet IO Module’s
internal diagnostics detect a fault that
would prevent the SafetyNet System
from carrying out its safety function,
then it will initiate a controlled
shutdown. A controlled shutdown has
two objectives – firstly, to ensure that
the IO Module enters its failsafe mode;
and secondly, to record sufficient data
to allow the reason for the shutdown to
be determined. If a SafetyNet Module
enters a controlled shutdown, then
all IO channels are deactivated: input
channels are not scanned; and output
channels are de-energized.
• Bussed Field Power
The Bussed Field Power (BFP)
connectors on the rear of IO Module
Carriers provide the power connections
for field instruments wired to the IO
Modules. For the SafetyNet System,
BFP must be 24 VDC and supplied by
MTL’s 8914-PS-AC units. These power
supplies may be used in redundant
pairs, if required.
• Live Maintenance
SafetyNet IO Modules can be removed
and replaced in a Class 1, Division 2
or Zone 2 hazardous area - once the
relevant Bussed Field Power (BFP)
connection has been isolated using
an appropriate hazardous area switch
(such as the MTL951). Removing
and replacing the Modules does
not interrupt the operation of the
other parts of the node. If a Module
is replaced by another Module of
identically the same type, then no
intervention is required for the System
to begin operating normally once the
Bussed Field Power is restored.
• Line Fault Monitoring
In addition to the comprehensive
internal diagnostics the SafetyNet IO
Modules can monitor field wiring for
line faults.

Safety and Distributed Control
• Event Logging
Data from SafetyNet IO Modules can
be time stamped and stored by the
SafetyNet Controller before being
downloaded to the PAC8000 SOE Data
Retrieval Client or a 3rd party historian
package. SafetyNet IO Module data
is time stamped with a resolution of
better than 200ms.
• Failsafe Mode
IO Modules will enter Failsafe Mode
from the Running State either due
to loss of communications with the
Controller or because the module
has received an instruction from the
Controller to enter the Failsafe State. In
this state:
– The Red Fault LED is lit
– The IO Module is flagged as
unhealthy to the Controller
– All Railbus Write requests are
rejected, except instructions to Reset
or to exit the Failsafe State
– Inputs and HART data are read
– Outputs are de-energized
– Background diagnostics continue and
if a failure is detected, the module
will enter Controlled Shutdown
• Controlled Shutdown
A Controlled Shutdown is carried out if
a fault is detected in the Module. In this
state it can communicate the reason
for shutdown.
• LEDs
A number of LEDs are provided on each
IO Module to provide visual indication
of the status of the Module, its channels
and its power supply.
• Module ‘Fault’ LED (red)
– On - Failsafe
– Off - Normal operation Flashing
(equal:mark space ratio) – Cold start in
process, will flash until communication
is established with SafetyNet Controller.
– Blinking (On for a short period, then On
for a longer period – morse code ‘a’) –
Fault state after controlled shutdown
• Module ‘Power’ LED (green)
– On - Power OK
– Off - BFP or Railbus Power Failure
• Module ‘Channel’ LED’s (yellow)

PAC8000 SafetyNet
PAC8000 Process I/O
PAC8000 delivers full-specification performance in harsh process environment conditions; extreme temperatures, humidity or
corrosives and conditions subject to shock and vibration. In ATEX environments, PAC8000 also excels. All components can be mounted
and maintained in Zone 2/Division 2 hazardous areas. The I/O includes types that can be connected directly to Intrinsically Safe (Exi)
or Increased Safety (Exe) field wiring. PAC8000 provides comprehensive diagnostic data on Controllers, Bus Interface Modules, I/O
Modules, field wiring and field instruments, allowing users to respond to issues quickly and effectively.
PAC8000 I/O can be used in conjunction with intelligent Controllers on architectures which require distributed control (Refer to
Section 2 Conventional Control Systems). Alternatively, where remote I/O is required, the node can use a Bus Interface Module (BIM)
or a network scanner. A range of BIMs are available for connection to remote hosts using different protocols. PROFINET, Modbus RTU,
PROFIBUS DP and Modbus TCP/IP.
Benefits of PAC8000 I/O
• Bus Interface Modules
For architectures that require remote
or distributed I/O, PAC8000 uses
Bus Interface Modules (BIMs) to act
as a network interface or scanner.
Some BIMs can be used redundantly,
mounted on the same BIM carrier to
increase availability. BIMs that can only
be used in simplex mode can work
with the 8510-NS-MO Node Services
Module, which stores the relevant
parameters, so that insertion of a
new replacement triggers automatic
configuration of the unit and the node.
• I/O Modules
A broad range of PAC8000 I/O modules
are available to meet the needs of
different applications. All modules
provide comprehensive diagnostic
information. Analog and discrete
output modules are typically 8channel, with 8-, 16- or 32channel discrete input modules.
The maximum number of I/O Modules
that can be mounted on a node
depends on the BIM type – either 24
(PROFIBUS DP types), 32 (Modbus
RTU type) or 64 (Modbus TCP/IP type)
modules can be mounted on each
node. Modules that mount in zone 2
and can accept field wiring to zone 2
are known as PAC8000 2/2 modules.
Modules which mount in zone 2 and
are compatible with intrinsically safe
field wiring are known as PAC8000
2/1 modules.
• Environmental and Hazardous
Area Operation
PAC8000 can go where other products
cannot. They can be field mounted
and will operate under the following
conditions:
– -40°C to +70°C ambient
temperature
– ISA Level G3 corrosive
atmospheres
– 30g shock and 5g vibration
– Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2
hazardous areas, with I/O field wiring
including intrinsically safe (Exi) and
increased safety (Exe) options.

Safety and Distributed Control
• LAN Redundancy
Different LAN Redundancy options
are available from the different
BIMs. PROFINET BIMs support a ring
architecture (PROFINET’s “Media
Redundancy Protocol”, or MRP), the
Ethernet BIM supports redundant,
fault tolerant Ethernet and the Modbus
RTU BIM can operate two LANs in a
number of different ways based on
its configuration. The 8507-BI-DP BIM
can provide redundant LANs when
redundant BIMs are installed.
• HART Pass-through
All PAC8000 BIMs are designed to work
with HART field instruments when
combined with appropriate HARTcapable Analog I/O Modules. This allows
remote asset management packages to
communicate directly with HART field
instruments. The PROFINET BIM due
for initial release will have this feature
in 2013, and the 8505-BI-MB Modbus
BIM requires the use of the 8512-IF-HA
HART Interface Module to enable HART
pass-through.
• HART Acquisition
PAC8000 HART I/O Modules can directly
address smart instruments and provide
HART process and status information
directly to the host. This enables
the implementation of a number of
advanced techniques such as live
re-calibration of the 4-20 mA loop by
continually comparing it to the original
digitized measurement from
the transmitter.
• Upgrading Legacy System
Installations
The Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet BIM
shares the same hardware as the
PAC8000 Intelligent Controllers. It can
be upgraded from a BIM to a Controller
by a simple firmware download. This
feature is particularly useful in legacy
system upgrades, by following a process
such as:
– The PAC8000 Ethernet BIM and I/O is
used to gradually replace failed legacy
system I/O, acting as new remote I/O
to the legacy host – connected by
either Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet,
or Modbus RTU over an RS485
serial link.
– Many legacy control rooms have
little free space, so users can take
advantage of the PAC8000’s harsh
and hazardous environmental
performance to mount the new I/O
remotely on the plant, close to the
field instruments, freeing up space in
the control room.
– Once the entire legacy I/O has been
replaced, the legacy host
can be removed and the control
capability of the Ethernet BIMs
enabled to instigate distributed
control on a new platform, with
no legacy issues.
• Ease of Use
A range of features provide simplified
day-to-day operation of a process
automation system:
– Only field wiring is connected to field
terminals – field power is
connected to the carrier’s
terminals, simplifying field wiring
tasks and I/O module replacement.
– I/O modules feature LEDs to assist
with fault finding in I/O modules and
field wiring.
– Field terminals and I/O modules
are keyed to each other. It is
impossible to make an unsafe
combination of terminals
and modules, or inadvertently
replace a failed module with an
incorrect replacement.
– When replacing an I/O module, the
Controller or Bus Interface Module
will automatically bring it online if it
recognizes the type as correct.
– Online download of new application
programs is possible with simplex
Controllers, and online download of
new firmware is often possible with
redundant Controllers.
• Power Supplies
12 V System Power must be
connected to each node. This can
be supplied by the AC Power Supply
8913-PS-AC or the DC Power Supply
BQ2320-9R-EX. The Ethernet BIM also
requires its own 12 V Controller Power
connection. Using 12 V for the
internal communication bus allows live
module removal from the Carriers, even
in zone 2 hazardous areas. Different 2/2
I/O Modules require different Bussed
Field Power Supplies. This power supply
is connected to the node via connectors
on the back of the I/O Carrier, and is
routed through the I/O module to the
field wiring. It will normally be necessary
to isolate this supply before removing
the module. As the name suggests,
Bussed Field Power can be bussed along
the back of the I/O Carrier to simplify
connection of the various supply
voltages a node may need. All the power
for 2/1 modules is supplied through
the Carrier, with System Power being
provided by the dedicated IS Power
Supply 8920-PS-DC.
• Addressing of I/O modules
Modules are addressed in terms
of their position, or slot, on the
Carrier. As a result, a module can be
removed and replaced by another of
the same type and the system will
resume operation, including the new
module, automatically. And since all
configuration data is stored in nonvolatile memory, the configuration is
retained even during a power cycle and
without the need for internal batteries.
• Sequence of Event Recording
The 8127-DI-SE module can time
stamp input changes for Sequence
of Events recording. This function is
supported on PAC8000 Controllers
and Ethernet BIMs.
• Integrated Control and Safety
The majority of PAC8000 I/O Modules
can be mounted on SafetyNet SIL 2
functional safety nodes, together
with SafetyNet I/O Modules and
Controllers, to implement Integrated
Control and Safety Systems. (Modules
8129-IO-DC and 8133-HI-TX are not
supported by SafetyNet).
• Engineering Tools
The configuration tool that is required
by each of the different BIM types is
given in the comparison tables.

PAC8000 2/2 4-20 mA Analog Input Modules
2/2 4–20 mA Analog Input modules measure the current in a 4–20 mA field instrument loop and
report the value read on each channel. The 4-20 mA analog input modules have eight channels.
When the current is measured outside the 4-20 mA range, the module detects this and reports
open and short circuit line faults.
Analog input modules “with HART” can obtain information from HART instruments of protocol
revision 5.0 or later. Each channel can communicate with a single HART instrument. HART universal
command 3 is used to access data on up to 4 dynamic variables and status from each instrument.
This provides more process information to the control system from each device. Compensating
for A/D and D/A errors and comparing the value reported by the module with the original
measurement taken by the field instrument can result in greater accuracy. In addition, HART passthrough may be used for device configuration, calibration and advanced diagnostics by remote
asset management packages.
