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.

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.
