8501 Input Output Module
The PACOM 8501 I/O Module uses PACOM-Edge IP technology to integrate advanced security over the existing Ethernet backbone, reducing the need for traditional cabling. It provides a native connection for 16 supervised alarm inputs, 2 relay outputs, and 3 open collector outputs. Crucially, the capacity is highly expandable using four 8000 series expansion cards that can be mixed and matched to meet diverse input/output requirements (e.g., up to 48 inputs).
