Overview

Series 8 I/O modules, along with I/O Termination Assemblies (IOTAs), perform module
diagnostics input and output scanning and processing on all field I/O data and events. To
allow a more efficient use of Controller resources, I/O processing is performed separately
from control processing functions so that:

I/O sample rates are completely independent of I/O quantity, controller loading,
processing, and alarming

Allows more efficient use of advanced Control Processor capability, and

Provides for future I/O expansion
