MTL 8701-CA-BI

8701-CA-BI is an Eaton / MTL 8000 Series Multi-BIM Carrier for mounting Bus Interface Modules (BIMs) in the PAC8000 Process I/O system. It is specifically associated with BIM interfaces such as the 8507-BI-DP PROFIBUS-DP BIM.

Core Functions
BIM mounting carrier — provides the physical mounting and electrical interface for MTL 8000 Bus Interface Modules.
Redundant BIM support — designed to accommodate redundant BIM configurations for higher communication availability in critical applications.
Railbus connection — provides the carrier interface between the BIM and the PAC8000 I/O Railbus.
Communication interface support — used with BIMs such as the 8507-BI-DP, which provides PROFIBUS-DP communication between PAC8000 I/O modules and the host PLC/DCS.
System integration — serves as the carrier layer between the communication interface module and PAC8000 process I/O modules.
Address/configuration interface — supports hardware address setting associated with the BIM/carrier arrangement.
