Introduction

Sturdy and dependable, ioPAC 8020-C modular RTU controllers are an ideal solution for rolling stock and trackside applications.  This series tolerates temperature extremes from -40° to 75°C, is enclosed  in a sealed metal casing, and is compliant with EN 50121-3-2, EN 50121-4 and essential sections of EN 50155 anti-vibration standard. The ioPAC 8020-C further features a Linux/GNU platform adapted to data acquisition and condition monitoring. The main advantage of this open C platform is its user-friendly SDK, which helps economize on installation and configuration overhead by reducing your programming workload for key areas like I/O control and condition monitoring, SCADA/DB interoperability, and improving smart communication controls.

The ioPAC-8020-C has an Ethernet switch with 2 ports that allows system integrators to easily build control networks with open Ethernet standards and daisy-chain topologies. Built-in dual power inputs ensure non-stop data transfer to the controller and uninterrupted communications management on the control network. For train-related applications, spring-type terminal blocks and optional M12 Ethernet connectors deliver reliable operations in high vibration environments. Finally, the selection of multiple hot-swap I/O and communication modules can service any combination of device applications.
