Reduced termination costs
Field wiring goes directly to the I/O terminals in the local field enclosure – no addition-al cross wiring to marshalling panels. Integrated IS capability mixed with generalpurpose signals, together with integral tagging and fusing options, dramatically reduce engineering and design costs.
Flexible system design
Combine analog and discrete modules for maximum flexibility and use of space. High system availability-easy maintenance Maximize up-time by incorporating redundant EBIMs, power supplies and net-work connections. ‘Hot swap’ modules, without affecting system operation or reconfiguring, even in hazardous areas.
On-line changes
The EBIM allows on-line configuration changes during testing, start-up, and maintenance phases. This significantly accelerates system start-up and reduces operation downtime.

The Ethernet BIM platform
The Ethernet BIM incorporates a rigorous redundancy model, HART® capability and a fault tolerant Ethernet implementation to manage communications on the process network and deliver reliable system operation in your application. Process I/O™ is a field-mounted distributed I/O system that provides an intelligent interface between field-mounted instrumentation and the Host system. Process I/O™ interfaces to virtually all process signals including HART®, providing a complete solution for your I/O needs. The complete platform has an environmental specification capable of surviving conditions out in the plant. It is built for harsh process applications, being shock and vibration resistant, operating over the industrial -40°C to +70°C temperature range that is typically associated with field transmitters, and meeting ISA’s stringent G3 corrosion resistance requirements. The EBIM and I/O components can all be mounted directly in Division 2/Zone 2 hazardous areas and, when required, can provide a cost effective intrinsic safety solution. Because the system can be mounted in the field, it can also provide extensive cost savings by eliminating the need to wire all sensors back to a central controller. With the EBIM and its I/O mounted in the field, the only wiring back to a control room is the high-speed network.
