Series 8 Controller and I/O Specification, S803-150-500 5
contains all of the control and communication functionalities. The C300 IOTA contains only passive devices such as
FTE address switches, FTE cable connectors and I/O Link cable connectors. Figure 1 below depicts the IOTA
components.
The C300 Controller may operate in both non-redundant and redundant configurations. Redundant operation require a
second identical controller with its own IOTA and connecting redundancy cable. The C300 Controller supports Series 8
I/O modules. Two IO Link interfaces, which are redundant, provide connection between the C300 controller and
associated I/O modules. The IO Link interface connectors are on the C300 IOTA.
