1. Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the LX-8000/9000 and its components, and introduces the fundamental concepts for user familiar with the LX-8000/9000.

The LX-8000/9000 are Linux OS based PACs that combine computing, I/O, and operator interface into a single unit, and provide the perfect solution for integrating HMI, data acquisition and control in an individual PAC.

It is equipped with an x86 CPU, 0/1/3/7 I/O expansion slots and a variety of connectives including dual Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, USB port, RS-232 and RS-485 interface. Local I/O slots are available to use I-8K/9K and I-87K/97K series I/O modules and remote I/O expansions are available to use our Ethernet I/O modules and RS-485 I/O modules.

2.1. Mounting the LX-8000

The LX-8000 can be mounted either directly to a wall/panel, or onto a standard 35mm DIN rail.

Wall/Panel mounting

Step 1: Install the four mounting screws

into the 4 keyhole mounting holes

Step 2: Fasten the screws securely

Tips & Warnings

There must be a minimum clearance of 50mm between the LX-8000 and the top and bottom side of the enclosure panel.

LX-8000/9000 (Linux based PAC) User Manual version 1.1.0 Page: 26

DIN Rail mounting

Step 1: Hook upper tab over upper flange of DIN rail

Step 2: Tilt the module toward DIN rail until it snaps securely to DIN rail

LX-8000/9000 (Linux based PAC) User Manual version 1.1.0 Page: 27

Tips & Warnings

A good common ground reference (earth ground) is essential for proper operation of the LX-8000. One side of all control circuits, power circuits and the ground lead must be properly connected to earth ground by either installing a ground rod in close proximity to the enclosure or by connecting to the incoming power system ground. There must be a single-point ground (i.e. copper bus bar) for all devices in the enclosure that require an earth ground.

5.5. Network redundancy

Network redundancy is a communications pathway that has additional links to connect all nodes in case one link goes down. We have two ways to support network redundancy.

1. Enable Bridge Interface with RSTP

User can create a network bridge interface with RSTP protocol to make dual LAN redundant

mechanism.

If one of your LX-8000/9000 PAC device LAN port is stops working, bridge will use another

LAN port to continue working.

This mechanism makes sure your network environment much stronger. User can follow below steps to enable bridge interface with RSTP protocol.

Step 1: Using the linux command “vi” to modify the file “/etc/network/interfaces”. Step 2: Unmark rstp mechanism like below

Step 3: After user save the file and use “reboot” command to reset device, user can use the new network configuration on LX-8000/9000.

LX-8000/9000 (Linux based PAC) User Manual version 1.1.0 Page: 92

2. Linux Network Bonding mode 1

Linux network bonding is a creation of a single bonded interface by combining 2 or more Ethernet interfaces. The mode 1 setting is active backup, like network redundant.

In this section, you can follow below steps to configure linux bonding easier.

If you use LX-9x71/9x81, check your OS version by command “OS_version”. OS support linux bonding when version greater or equal to 1.1.1.

Step1: Unmark linux bonding example in /etc/network/interfaces and mark other setting.

Step2: reboot to make configure work. Step3: Check linux bonding status.

LX-8000/9000 (Linux based PAC) User Manual version 1.1.0 Page: 93

Step4: Use “ifconfig” to get your interface “bond0” information.

LX-8000/9000 (Linux based PAC) User Manual version 1.1.0 Page: 95

6.1. N-Port Modules Support

N-port communication modules provide two or four serial ports and can be inserted into the slot of an LX-8000/9000 embedded controller. In this way, additional serial ports can be used on the LX-8000/9000 embedded controller. The LX-8000/9000 embedded controller is a multi-tasking uint, meaning that all the serial ports can be controlled simultaneously. The number of each serial port on the N-Port Serial modules(two or four serial ports) are presented in below figures:

 LX-8000 N-Port Modules support (I-8114W, I-8112iW, etc.)
