This manual focuses on the hardware aspects of the ROC809 and
ROC827 Remote Operations Controllers – also known as the ROC800-
Series controllers (“ROC800”) – and the ROC800-Series expansion
backplanes (“EXPs”), that attach only to the ROC827 and provide
increased I/O capabilities.
For technical information on the ROC800s, refer to the technical
specifications ROC800:800, and ROC800:FW1 (available at
www.EmersonProcess.com/Remote). For information about the software
you use to configure the ROC800-Series, refer to the ROCLINK™ 800
Configuration Software User Manual (for ROC800-Series) (part
D301250X012).
