SERIES C I/O PURPOSE

Series C I/O Modules, along with I/O Termination Assemblies (IOTAs), perform module diagnostics

input and output scanning and processing on all field I/O data and events. To allow a more

efficient use of Controller resources, I/O processing is performed separately from control

processing functions so that:

l I/O sample rates are completely independent of I/O quantity, controller loading, processing,

and alarming

l allows more efficient use of advanced Control Processor capability, and

l provides for future I/O expansion.

l Comparing Process Manager I/O and Series C I/O

l What is Series C I/O?

l Series C Pulse Input Module (SCPIM)

l What is Universal Input/Output (UIO) Module?

l What is Low Level Analog Input (LLAI) Module

l Overview of the Universal Horizontal Input/Output (UHIO)

2.1 Comparing Process Manager I/O and Series C I/O

The following list compares previous features of the Process Manager I/O and the Series C I/O:

l Non-Volatile Memory:

o In the PM, memory was maintained over a power cycle within the I/O card itself.

o With the Series C I/O, the configuration memory information is restored from the

C300 controller at power-up of the I/O Module.

l IOL - The Series C I/O link runs at twice the speed of the PMIO I/O Link. Each C300 I/O Link
