Series C control hardware
Series C control hardware consists of the following system components:
C300 Controller is a distributed process controller and I/O gateway for the
•
Experion system. With only a few exceptions, the C300 Controller fully supports
configuration, load and execution of the standard function blocks supported in
previous Experion releases, (R210).
Series C Input/Output Modules that feature HART-capable AI and AO modules,
•
and a low level Mux AI module. Digital input modules that support high voltage AC
and 24V DC inputs, and a Digital Output module that provides 24 VDC.
The Series C Fieldbus Interface Module, (Series C FIM) which is designed to
•
complement the C300 Controller and support Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE)
communications within Experion R300 systems or later.
A 9-port Control Firewall, (CF9) provides eight FTE interface connections for
•
C300 Controllers and Series C FIMs within a control cabinet and one uplink to the
supervisory FTE communications network.
Series C form factor
All Series C control hardware is constructed using the same form factor; that is, the C300
Controller modules, Series C I/O modules, Control Firewall modules, and Series C FIMs
all mount on their associated Input Output Termination Assemblies (IOTAs), which are
installed on carrier hardware specifically designed to support Series C hardware
installation. The module's circuit board assemblies are housed in a plastic case with a
round faceplate that identifies the module type and model number along with status
LEDs and a four-character alphanumeric display. The IOTA contains connectors that
accept the associated control module and the various I/O connectors for cables that
connect to other Series C control hardware. Figure 1 shows an example of the design.
