Study Notes
C300 Series C Input Output Options
- The C300 controller supports two I/O links, each link consisting of I/O hardware connected to the controller by two I/O link interface cables.
- Each I/O link can be configured to support either Series C I/O or Process Manager I/O
- Series C I/O includes Analog Input, Analog Output, Digital Input, Digital Output, Pulse Input, Universal Input Output, Low Level MUX I/O and Low Level Analog Input modules.
- Analog In and Analog Out modules support Hart.
- All modules except the Low Level MUX can be optionally redundant.
- The pulse Input module is used to interface with pulsed output transducer like tachometers, flow meters.
- Fieldbus devices are interfaced to the C300 controller through the Series C Fieldbus Interface, which is also designed in the Series C form factor.
- The C300 controller also supports the same I/O modules from the Process manager family like AI, AO, DI, DO, RTD, T/C, DI SOE.
- A Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge connection brings all Series A I/O modules into the C300 controller.
- Series C Profibus Gateway module is used for interface with profibus devices.
- A Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge also provides the C300 controller access to Allen Bradley PLCs.
- The FTEB is in a bridge chassis along with a downlink ControlNet interface card, which gives access to the Allen Bradley PLCs on a ControlNet.
