controller CPM.
C300 – Two I/O Link interfaces are built in to the controller.
Each I/O Link can connect with either PMIO I/O or Series C I/O
modules.
C200 – Ethernet or Fault Tolerant Ethernet plug-in modules
are needed to connect to respective Ethernet and FTE
communication networks. ControlNet Interface plug-in module
is needed to connect with other ControlNet nodes.
C300 – Ethernet interface is built into the controller and
supports both Ethernet and redundant FTE communications.
No ControlNet interface.
C200 – Ethernet or Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge plug-in
modules are needed to connect to respective Ethernet and
FTE networks. ControlNet Interface plug-in module is needed
to connect with other ControlNet nodes.
C300 – Ethernet interface is built into the controller and
supports both Ethernet and redundant FTE communications.
No ControlNet interface. C300 connection to C200 controller
is made through an FTE Bridge module installed in the C200
chassis.
C200 and C300 – Both Controllers use the same standard
Experion function block types for control strategy execution.
There are some exceptions.
C200 and C300 – Both controllers use the same engineering
tools utilities and applications for maintenance tasks (except
NTools). C300 uses CTools engineering utility.
