can be configured to provide Series-C or PMIO link speeds.
l Series C I/O fully supports HART I/O. This includes the use of Secondary HART Variables as
control parameters.
l Separation of Primary from Secondary modules:
o In the PM, the Primary and Secondary I/O Electronics modules could be separated,
placed in different cabinets, and/or powered by different power systems.
o Series C I/O does not have this capability.
l Series C permits Zone 2 mounting of the Controller and I/O
l In PMIO, the configuration memory is maintained only if a battery backup is installed.
2.2 What is Series C I/O?
The Experion Series C I/O modules are an expanding family of traditional and special functio
input/output signal interface devices. They supports local software configuration. These I/O
modules share the same form factor as the C300 Controller and reside on the same type of
common mounting system as other Series C components.
2.2.1 What is Series C I/O Mark II?
Series C Mark II is an enhancement to the existing Series C platform in terms of IO modules,
related IOTAs, IO link, power supply, power distribution, and cabinet infrastructure, making it a
more cost-effective solution than the earlier version. The design style continues to be the same.
2.2.2 Supported Series C Mark II I/O modules
ATTENTION
Series C Mark II cannot support any PM I/Os.
C300 IOLINK block parameter IOLINKTYPE is used to determine if the IOLINK supports
Series C Mark II I/O.

Series C Pulse Input Module (SCPIM)
The Experion Series C PIM is an interface between C300/CN100 Controller that enables highaccuracy pulse counting of pulse streams from rotating machinery such as turbines, flow meters,
and densitometers. High-accuracy and repeatable measurement capability make the PIM well
suited for metering and custody transfer applications.
The PIM has eight input channels. Out of the eight channels, some may be single consuming one
channel or dual consuming 2 adjacent channels. The last 2 channels (channel 7 and channel 8)
can also be configured as distinct Fast Cutoff using the two output channels on the module.
Each input channel has a 32-bit counter to perform pulse counting and frequency calculation. In
addition, when these channels are configured as single input channels, these eight channels also
have a second 32-bit timer for pulse period and pulse width measurement.
Features of SCPIM
The following are some of key the features of SCPIM.
l Supports IOM redundancy.
l Supports redundant module communications with the controller via IO link.
l Supports simulation with SIM-C300/SIM-CN100 – The input value can be substituted by a
program and/or UniSim using the SIMVALUE parameter.
l Supports high accuracy frequency, period, and pulse width measurement.
l Provides hardware support for Meter Suite applications.
l Provides connections to power field devices or pulse pre-amplifiers.
l Supports pulse multiplexing that enables good pulses from a dual pulse input pair to be copied
to the Prover output interface.
l Supports Dual Pulse Integrity in accordance with ISO6551:1996 Level A, which is required to
support interfacing of custody transfer meters with pulse outputs.
l Provides the flexibility of configuring the eight input channels as single input, dual input, or a
combination of both single and dual input channels . For example you can configure the
channels as;
o 2 single input channels, 3 dual input channels or
o 6 single input channels, 1 dual input channels.
For information on PIM specifications, refer to the Specifications document available on the
Honeywell Online Support site.
Comparison between Series A and Series C PIM
The following table lists some of the differences between the Series A and Series C pulse input
modules.
Series C PIM Series A PIM
Shares the same form factor as the Series
C I/O family.
Requires two form factors to use with C300
controller; series A for the Pulse Input and the series
C form factor for the controller and other I/O
modules.
Supports IOM redundancy. Does not support IOM redundancy.
Supports Dual Pulse Integrity to support
interfacing of custody transfer meters with
pulse outputs.
Does not support Dual Pulse Integrity.
Supports pulse multiplexing that enables
good pulses from a dual pulse input pair to
be copied to the Prover output interface.
Does not support pulse multiplexing.
Supports pulse length measurement in all
channels.
Does not support pulse length measurement in the
last two channels.
Supports configuration of all eight
channels through use of PICHANNEL
block.
Needs two blocks for configuring channels:
l Pulse Input Channel block for configuring the
first six channels.
