Features of ioAdmin
Auto search and detection
While connected to the ioPAC 8020, the utility can automatically find how many devices are connected on the
network. When you connect successfully, you will see the installed modules on the screen after you login.
You do not need to manually add I/O modules to the configuration one by one. What appears on screen is
exactly what you’ve installed. In addition, it will solve any IP conflicts when you first install two or more ioPAC
8020s to the same network at the same time.

and monitor and configure attached I/O devices. You can also test I/O devices and reset the system.

Modular_ ioAdmin also includes Click&Go logic control for the configuration of your ioPAC system.
