Experion system references
Please refer to the following Knowledge Builder publications for general planning details
and installation considerations for the Experion system in general. For the sake of
brevity, this Guide does not repeat the applicable general guidelines, considerations,
cautions, etc. that are covered in these other Guides.

If this is a new Experion system installation, we recommend that you familiarize yourself
with the contents of these publications before you install any Experion system
equipment.
Installation declaration
ATTENTION
This equipment shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the
National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC), C22.1. It is supplied as "open equipment" that is intended to be
mounted on a sub-panel within an enclosure. The suitability of the enclosure
and installed system shall be acceptable to the local "authority having
jurisdiction," as defined in the NEC, or "authorized person" as defined in the
CEC.
CIOM-A FIM and I/O module allowance
Be sure your Experion System fieldbus and I/O requirements do not exceed the
capacities listed in the Software Change Notice (SCN) supplied with the system. The
following table is provided as a quick unofficial reference only for general planning
purposes. In terms of processing allocations, the CIOM-A FIM is the equivalent of three
I/O modules. A pair of redundant CIOM-A FIMs in a Redundant Chassis Pair still count
as two individual FIMs for system capacity calculations, so 50 pairs or 100 FIMs is still
the total allowed per Server.
