    Study Notes

    Series C Control Processor

    • The C300 is the control processor of the Series C architecture.
    • It can be a single processor or redundant processor configuration.
    • Must connect to Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE).
    • Connects via control firewalls to the FTE switches (FTE A and FTE B).
    • The C300 connects to both FTE A and FTE B control firewalls.

    Series C I/O options

    • The C300 supports various I/O configurations.
    • Supports two separate I/O links.
    • Each link can handle either Process Manager (PM) I/O or Series C I/O.
    • PM I/O and Series C I/O cannot be combined on the same link.

    Series C Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM)

    • The Series C FIM must connect to Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE).
    • Connection is through the control firewalls.

    Series A Rack I/O

    • Series A Rack I/O (C200/C200E) can be connected to a C300 controller.
    • The rack connects to FTE through a Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge module.
    • The bridge module is connected to the control firewall.

    Allen Bradley PLCs

    • Allen Bradley PLCs can be connected via ControlNet to a Series A chassis.
    • The series A chassis connects to FTE with a Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge module.
    • The bridge connects to the control firewalls.
    • This configuration lets the C300 access the Allen Bradley PLC.

    Series C Architecture Components

    • The C300 control processor can be configured as either a single or redundant system, and requires a Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) connection.
    • The C300 connects to the FTE switches through two control firewalls, one for each FTE switch (FTE A and FTE B).
    • The C300 supports two separate I/O links that can accommodate either Process Manager I/O (PM I/O) or Series C I/O, but not both on the same link.
    • Series C Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs) must also connect to Fault Tolerant Ethernet via the control firewalls.
    • Series A Rack I/O (C200/C200E) can be connected to the C300 controller. The rack is connected to FTE through a Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge module.
    • Allen Bradley PLCs can be accessed via ControlNet through a Series A chassis. The chassis is connected to FTE using a Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge module connected to the control firewalls.
