Dual Bus design to supports i-8K and i-87K series I/O modules 
The 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8 has two types of bus on its back plane. The first is a serial 
bus (RS-485 interface) for 87K I/O modules and the second is a parallel bus for 8K I/O 
modules. The DCON firmware can support both 8K and 87K series I/O modules. These 
two series I/O modules can both be connected into the same I-8000 MCU, and can use 
the same DCON command when they are both attached to I-8000 MCU. The modules 
for DI, DO, DIO, AI, AO and Counter/Frequency purpose are supported. Other modules, 
such as multi-serial port (8112, 8144, 8142, 8144), MMC (8073), motion (8090, 8091), 
are not supported. For more details, please refer to Appendix D: i-8K and i-87K series 
I/O modules.

More flexible I/O combination and Compactfastenquick to install 
The 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8 Ethernet I/O units contain either a 4-slot or 8-slot bus to 
allow various i/o modules to be connected, removing the need for complex wiring 
between i/o modules. Furthermore, various I/O modules can be inserted into the slots at 
the same time, such as digital input/output, analog input/output and counter modules, 
and each I/O module allows various numbers of channels. For example, with i-8040 or 
i-8041, the 8830/8KE8 provides max 256 digital input or digital output channels.The 
module can simply be plugged into the slot and secured to the plastic base using a pair 
of locking buttons. The assembly can then be mounted on the control box using DIN rail 
clips.
