ICP DAS iDCS-8830 modular remote redundant I/O system

The ICP DAS iDCS-8830 is a modular remote redundant I/O system that supports Modbus/TCP and Modbus/UDP with eight I/O slots designed to work in duplex or simplex applications.

It provides for easy installation of the I/O modules and process cabling. The iDCS-8830 is highly modularised and flexible so that the I/O modules can be combined to suit many applications including most types of signals, digital, analog, counter and HART.

The station of an iDCS-8830 system consists of power modules, communication modules, I/O modules and termination boards. The power modules provide the isolated power to the system. The communication modules are the interface to the iDCS-8830 I/O modules and the iDCS-8830 I/O modules sense or control the device in the field. Termination boards are used to connect between signals to/from the field and I/O modules.

A hot-swap capability allows modules to be easily replaced, and the system supports up to four redundant pairs of I/O modules that work in duplex mode.
