Introduction
    The i-8000 is a family of compact, modular, intelligent and rugged, distributed embedded I/O controller designed for data acquisition and control in manufacturing, research and education. This new exciting series offers a flexible, versatile, and economical solution to a wide range of applications. From Data-Acquisition, process control, test and measurement, to energy and building management.

    The i-8000 is a modular network -based embedded I/O controller with the capability of connecting I/O either through it¡¦s own dual backplane bus or alternatively through remote I/O units and remote I/O modules. The unit comprises a main control unit with a range of standard communication interfaces, and a dual backplane bus permitting I/O expansion.

    The dual backplane bus is hybrid in nature providing the facility to connect either serial (i-87K I/O) or parallel I/O modules (i-8000 I/O). The parallel bus is used for high speed data transfer application. There are various of I/O modules including Digital Input/ Output , Analog Input/ Output, Counter/ Frequency and Motion I/O modules.

    TThe i-8000 can be used as an intelligent distributed data acquisition front end connected to a Host machine running a standard SCADA package, or alternatively. It can be user programmed as an autonomous controller running an embedded software application. Significant non-volatile memory is available for data and program storage.

  Support for Virtual COM technology  ¡@
 

Using the VxComm technology, PC can create virtual COM ports to map the RS-232, RS-485 of the i-8441/8841. The software running on the PC can operate the virtual COM ports like a standard COM port to access the serial devices connect to the i-8441/8841. That is to say, the original software developed for the serial devices can access the serial devices via the Ethernet/Internet without any modification.

Each PC can control up to 256 COM ports (including real COM ports). Using the multi serial port I/O module (i-8142,i-8144,i-8112,i-8114) , each i-8441/8841 can have extra 16 COM ports.

      Built-in watchdog timer (WDT)
      ¡@
       
      i-8441/8841 include an internal watchdog timer (WDT). The watchdog timer will trigger a system reset if the main program fails or neglects to regularly service the watchdog. The intention is to bring the system back from the hung state into normal operation.
