GEIntelligent Platforms8000Process I/O
The safe choicefor Process I/OGE Intelligent Platforms, through our acquisitionof MTL Open System Technologies (MOST), deliverspowerful and comprehensive I/O solutions for theharshest environments.GE’s rugged, reliable 8000 Process I/O,with its optional intrinsic safety,provides a cost-effective and spacesaving solution that eliminates theneed for external intrinsic safetybarriers. We can help you addressyour most demanding process controlapplications—all while helping yougain a sustainable advantage forfuture growth.8000 Process I/O is recognized around theworld as a leading product for use in processenvironments where extreme temperatures,corrosion, shock and vibration are present.It thrives in the heat of the Arabian Desertand the arctic cold of Siberian oil fields andin atmospheres that are so corrosive thatordinary I/O cannot survive. The world’slargest manufacturing companies rely onus to protect their businesses and theirpersonnel because quality and reliabilityare beyond question.We’re supplying the intrinsically safe versionof the I/O to plants around the world whereexplosive gases are present. The “intrinsicsafety” technique reduces the chance ofignition by restricting the energy availablein high-risk areas, making it an extremelycost-effective and reliable method ofpreventing explosions.For field-mounting I/O in the harshand hazardous process industry, GE isthe safe choice.BenefitsDesigned by experienced process engineersspecifically for process applications, 8000I/O is simple to use—delivering cost savingsand value:Minimum cost field mounting8000 I/O takes the place of the terminalblocks in field termination cabinets; sensorsand actuators connect directly to itsterminals. Replacing the multi-core cable tothe control room with a single or redundanttwisted pair or fiber optic cable reduces theinstallation cost dramatically. These savingscan only be achieved by field mounting,which the rugged 8000 I/O offers.Scalable8000 I/O is ideal for any size job from eightI/O points upwards. It is compatible with allcontrollers, from PLC and PC-based systemsright up to large DCS installations.Low cost of ownership Hot swap modules without shutdown Automatic addressing – remove andreplace I/O without re-programming Field wiring terminates directly ontoI/O field terminals – no externalterminals required8000 PROCESS I/O
Field mounting I/OEngineers now have the freedom to mountI/O in the field for increased savings withoutsacrificing reliability.Using field mounted I/O and an open networkreduces the cabling cost significantly and yetgives access to the diagnostic data you need.The 8000 I/O system solves all of the practicalproblems so you can install an I/O bus on yourplant today.What is the 8000 I/O system?It is a field mounting I/O system that replacesfield termination cabinets. It allows a groupof field devices of any type to be connectedto a single network node. The I/O nodes canthen be connected together to build a fast,powerful and open I/O system.Will it be expensive? Control rooms can be smallerNo, instead of adding a network bus connection for every switch and thermocouple,groups of I/O devices can be connectedto the bus at a single point—sharing thecost of a bus interface across a numberof I/O points. Designs are standard so design costsare lowHow does field mounting save money? Cable and conduit installation costs are cut I/O cabinets are not needed in thecontrol room Fewer cables mean simple commissioningand maintenanceCan’t any I/O system be field mounted?No. Standard PLC or DCS I/O is designed forcontrol room use, not for extreme temperatures, corrosive and explosive gases, shockand vibration that 8000 I/O thrives on. Inmany applications, it is the only way of fieldmounting I/O.www.ge-ip.com/8000
Rugged, reliable I/OThe versatility and tough designof 8000 I/O make it ideal for yourprocess I/O needs.8000 I/O is designed to address your processneeds, connecting as few as eight or asmany as 1024 I/O points to each node. Youcan distribute the 8000 I/O nodes to remotelocations in large applications, where the sizeis limited only by the network protocol youchoose. It’s effective across various industrialprocess applications, including:Oil and gas8000 I/O is designed for the most remoteplaces where oil and gas are found. Its -40 Cto 70 C (-40 F to 160 F) operating temperature range means that it can be mountedoutdoors on the plant anywhere in the world.System availability in these conditions can beincreased further by using redundant communications modules, power supplies andnetwork cables. Also, intrinsic safety providesgreat cost savings because the protectioncomponents are designed into the module, sono external barriers or isolators are needed.Chemical andpetro-chemical processingChemical and hydrocarbon processingplants create corrosive flammable gasesso field mounted I/O needs to be hazardousarea capable as well as rugged. 8000 I/Ois certified for use in hazardous areas allover the world. The modules are tropicalised to meet stringent ISA corrosionresistance requirements.Natural gas pipelinesWhen I/O is installed in remote locations, itneeds to be reliable and simple to maintain.8000 I/O modules can be hot-swapped ona live system. The configuration is backedup locally so no re-configuration is necessary, even if several modules are removedand replaced at the same time.Water and wasteDistributed field mounting makes 8000 I/Oideal for use in the water industry whereI/O is needed in groups around each partof the process. Its wide temperature rangemeans that I/O cabinets do not need heating.8000 PROCESS I/O
Pulp and paperHigh temperature and humidity make paperplants feel like a tropical jungle. 8000 I/O isright at home in this atmosphere and is evenimmune to the corrosive chemicals.Hazardous area applications8000 I/O is designed for use in the harshestenvironments anywhere, but what aboutareas where flammable gases are present?As you would expect, 8000 I/O has thewidest range of hazardous area options.Division 2/Zone 2 approvals8000 I/O is approved by Factory Mutualand CSA for Class I, Division 2 applicationsin the USA and Canada, respectively,and is ATEX-approved for mounting inZone 2 locations in Europe. These givethe highest possible savings in manyfield-mounted environments.Affordable intrinsic safetyOur expertise is built into the front endof IS I/O modules for direct connection tohazardous area field wiring. This means noexternal barriers or isolators, no additionalwiring and no extra cost. All you pay for isthe integrated IS I/O module.De facto standard forProcess I/O8000 Process I/O has become the de factoI/O standard for major automation suppliers.It is the standard platform for several majorDCS systems, providing the I/O solution forboth safe area and hazardous area I/O needsin their systems. Several programmablecontroller vendors are using 8000 ProcessI/O for their applications in harsh processenvironments.
