8000 Series I/O

®

Product Catalog

Overview

The NovaTech 8000 Series I/O is the newest remote I/O
family native to the D/3® Process Automation System
(PAS). It is the preferred I/O for new installations and
it can replace the older NovaTech 16000 series I/O
in existing PCM cabinets, using existing field wiring
connected to new termination panels with existing
connectors.

With its -40 to +70° temperature range and G3 cor­rosive coating, the NovaTech 8000 Series I/O is an I/O
system designed for field mounting. It connects to
conven-tional and smart field devices through multi­channel I/O modules. The modules communicate, via
a fast internal bus, with redundant Ethernet Bus Inter­face Modules (EBIMs) which provide dual-redundant
high speed Ethernet data connections to the D/3®.

Up to 64 I/O modules can be supported within a single
8000 Series node, and each module has between 4
and 16 channels. An EthernetMPC card can support
up to 50 nodes. With the availability of intrinsically
safe modules, 8000 Series I/O provides a solution for
both general purpose and hazardous area applications

- even within the same node.

Designed for use with PCM 4100 or PCM 4200 PCI­based PCMs, it requires an Ethernet Multi Protocol
Controller (EthernetMPC) card and D/3® version 12.2-2
or higher.

Key Features

• Wide range of input and output types, in any mix

• Up to 64 I/O modules per node

• Up to 50 nodes per EthernetMPC card

• Wide operating temperature range, -40 to +70°C

• General-purpose and intrinsically-safe I/O within a
single node

• Redundant Local Area Networks (LAN) and power
supplies supported

• High channel density

• Zone 2 and Division 2 hazardous area mounting as
standard

• I/O module hot-swapping even in Zone 2 and Divi­sion 2

• HART® pass-through supported

• Rugged construction, optimized for true field mount­ing

• Integrated (per-channel) fusing and loop-disconnect
facility

• Bussed field power on carriers eliminates daisy-chain
wiring at field terminals

• Sophisticated mechanical keying system eliminates
risk to plant and personnel

8000 Series connects to both conventional (such as
4-20mA) and smart field devices. It allows the cost
benefits of fieldbus to be enjoyed with existing field
instruments—ideal for plant upgrades and expan­sions. Pass-through of HART® information between
HART® instruments and the D/3® network is possible.

8000 Series nodes can be located within, and con­nected into, a hazardous area where there is a risk
of explosion from flammable gases. The standard,
general purpose system is approved for operation in a
Zone 2 or Class I, Division 2 hazardous area, with field
devices in a similarly classified area. I/O modules with
intrinsically safe field circuits can be connected to
certified devices in Zone 0 and Class I, II, III, Division 1
hazardous areas.

Enclosures are also available for application where the
Series 8000 node must be located in a Zone 1 or Divi­sion 1 area—consult NovaTech for availability.

8000 Series I/O

Node Architecture

An 8000 Series node comprises single or redundant
Ethernet Bus Inter-face Modules, up to 64 I/O modules,
field terminals, and associated power supplies.

A schematic node architecture is shown below. In­formation from the I/O modules is transferred to and
from the communication module (EBIM) via the Rail­bus. The Railbus is a fast, serial data bus with parallel
module addressing and extends over the full length of
the node. The parallel address architecture means that
each I/O module position has a unique address which
eliminates the need to ‘train’ modules during installa­tion.

Power for the node is provided by integrated power
supply modules; these convert the locally available
power source into a regulated internal supply rail. This
rail energizes the EBIM and all Railbus communication
between the EBIM and I/O modules.

For some I/O module types—such as those with
low-power and intrinsically safe field circuits—it also
provides power for the field wiring. Where additional
power is required for field devices (such as high cur­rent AC circuits), power can be provided by means
of cabled connections from each module to external
relays. This Bussed Field Power facility reduces instal-

lation time by removing the need to make daisy chain
wiring connections at the field terminals of each I/O
module.

Node Operation

A typical request for data from the field might happen
as follows:

The D/3® PAS requires the temperature from a par­ticular thermocouple input at a particular node and
transmits a signal on the I/O LAN. There are several
Series 8000 nodes on the I/O LAN, but the EBIM at the
chosen node recognizes its own node address, and
acknowledges the request.

At each node, the input modules constantly monitor,
linearize and digitize their respective field signals,
and make them available to scanning on the node’s
internal bus (Railbus).

The EBIM continually scans the I/O modules via the
Railbus, and builds up a map of the values of the input
variables, ready for the PCM to read. These are con­verted into the LAN protocol and placed on the LAN
by the EBIM, together with acknowledgement signals.
The D/3 then interprets the signal and reconstructs
the temperature reading.

Product Catalog

8000 Series I/O

Modules

I/O modules transfer signals to and from field instru­ments. Input modules receive signals from transmit­ters and sensors and convert them into a digital form
for presentation to the EBIM. Output modules receive
commands from the EBIM and transfer them to actua­tors. A wide range of modules is available, including
types for low-level instrumentation, AC circuits, and
intrinsically safe signals. I/O modules typically have 4,
8, or 16 field channels.

Carriers

Carriers allow the 8000 Series I/O to mount onto a flat
panel or T- or G-section DIN rail. They support and in­terconnect the EBIM, power supplies, I/O modules and
field terminals, and carry the address, data and power
lines of the internal Railbus. They provide termination
points for the LAN and field wiring cable screens and
can also distribute bussed field power to the I/O mod­ules. I/O module carriers support eight I/O modules.

Field Terminals

Field terminals provide the interface between the
I/O modules and the field wiring. They include fusing
and loop disconnect as options. A mechanical keying
system prevents an I/O module from being connected
to the wrong type of field terminal. Field terminals
mount onto the module carrier, one to each I/O
module. They are clamped firmly by the I/O module
to form an electrical and mechanical assembly of high
integrity. They may be replaced in service without
removing carriers or disturbing the operation of other
modules.

Power Supplies

8000 Series I/O power supplies accept locally available
unregulated power and provide a regulated supply
for the EBIM and I/O modules. Supply redundancy is
supported. The system power supply at an 8000 Series
node converts the local DC supply to power the node,
and can also provide field power for I/O modules with
low-level field circuits. Where heavy-current or AC
mains circuits are handled by the I/O modules, the
8000 Series method for distributing field power avoids
complex wiring at the field terminal and minimizes the
backplane/carrier wiring.
