maxPAC
Input/Output Subsystem
Overview
The maxPAC Input/Output System links the maxDNA Distributed Control
System to real world process control inputs and outputs. The Input/Output
system uses a compact design to provide the system with greatly enhanced
I/O capacity in relatively little space. A close relationship exists, in turn,
between this I/O system and the maxDNA Distributed Processing Unit
(DPU) which it serves.
The DPU and the I/O modules mount in an I/O chassis assembly. The
backplane in the chassis assembly provides the I/O bus connection between
the DPU and the I/O modules. It also provides the system power and field
power connections to the modules. Multiple I/O chassis that share the I/O
bus can be installed in a cabinet.
