Process Manager I/O Topologies

PM I/O with C200 and I/O Link Interface Module (IOLIM)

The following topology is an example of how PM I/O is integrated with the C200

Controller through the chassis based IOLIM. Each IOLIM supports one PM I/O link

network.

Configuration Rules (LIM)

Reference Description

CR_LIM.0 The IOLIM must reside in the same chassis as the C200 Controller. Both redundant and non-redundant chassis are supported.

CR_LIM.1 A redundant controller chassis using PM I/O must contain at least a

supervisory ControlNet Interface module (CNI) (for ControlNet) or FTE Bridge module (FTEB) (for FTE supervisory network), C200CPM, RM, and IOLIM CR_LIM.2 A non-redundant controller chassis using PM I/O must contain at least a

supervisory CNI (for ControlNet) or FTEB (for FTE supervisory network), C200CPM, and IOLIM.

CR_LIM.3 The maximum number of IOLIMs per controller chassis is two (2).

CR_LIM.4 Multiple I/O Links cannot be conjoined together, except for the same logical link from a Primary and Secondary IOLIM in a redundant chassis pair (RCP).

5. Input/Output (I/O) Network Considerations

5.5. Process Manager I/O Topologies

Reference Description

CR_LIM.5 All I/O channels assigned to an IOLIM must be contained in Control Modules that reside in the same C200CPM that resides in the chassis with that IOLIM. CR_LIM.6 The controller chassis can contain additional CNIs connected to other Experion

I/O families.

CR_LIM.7 The maximum number of Primary IOPs per IOLIM is 40, within the Link Unit specification found in Link Unit calculations in this document.

CR_LIM.8 The maximum number of Primary IOPs per C200CPM is 64.

CR_LIM.9 The communication update interval between the IOP Points and the Experion blocks is configurable per IOP device. The minimum update interval is 100 milliseconds and the maximum is 2 seconds.

CR_LIM.10 The maximum number of AO connections per IOLIM is 320. The maximum number of DO connections per IOLIM is 640. The maximum number of AO and DO connections per IOLIM is 640.

CR_LIM.11 ControlNet or FTE must be used for the supervisory network. Non-Redundant Ethernet supervisory networks are not qualified.

CR_LIM.12 The IOLIM is NOT qualified with the Remote GI/IS I/O family supported by the xPM that resides on an I/O Link.

CR_LIM.13 Peer-to-Peer connections from a C200 Controller to an IOLIM that is not residing in the same chassis as that C200 is NOT supported. For example, making I/O channel named references to remote PM I/O channels in another chassis IOLIM, is not supported.

PM I/O with C300 Controller

The following topologies are examples of how PM I/O is integrated with the C300

Controller being introduced in Experion R300. The C300 supports two I/O Link

interfaces and each or both of these can be used with either the PM I/O or the Series C

I/O. The PM I/O is supported when an I/O Link is configured as PM_IO_TYPE, and the

Series C I/O is supported when the link is configured as SERIES_C_IO TYPE. This

means that these two I/O types cannot be shared on the same I/O Link.

Configuration Rules (PM3)

Reference Description

CR_PM3.0 Multiple I/O Links cannot be conjoined together, except for the same logical link from a Primary and Secondary C300 pair.

CR_PM3.1 The maximum number of Primary IOPs per C300 I/O Link is 40, within the Link Unit specification found in Link Unit calculations in this document.

CR_PM3.2 The communication update interval between the IOP Points and the Experion blocks is configurable per IOP device. The minimum update interval is 100 milliseconds and the maximum is 2 seconds.

5.5. Process Manager I/O Topologies

Reference Description

CR_PM3.3 The maximum number of Primary IOPs per C300 is 64, within the constraint of 64 total IO Units per C300.

CR_PM3.4 The PM IOPs and Series C IOMs cannot reside on the same C300 I/O Link. PM IOPs must be assigned to PM_IO_TYPE (375 Kbps) link, and Series C IOMs must be assigned to SERIES_C_IO_TYPE (750 Kbps) link.

CR_PM3.5 All PM I/O channels must be contained in Control Modules that reside in the same C300 CEE that hosts the I/O Link where the PM IOPs reside. This means that two different C300s cannot share an I/O Link or the IOPs residing on that link.

CR_PM3.6 The C300 only supports the same set of PM IOPs as supported by the C200. See the Table in the following section for a list of supported IOPs.

CR_PM3.7 Either C300 I/O Link can be configured as a PM_IO_TYPE or as a

SERIES_C_IO_TYPE. For example, both links can be configured for PM I/O or both can be used for Series C I/O, or one of each type in any orientation of link 1 and 2.

PM IOP/IOM support

The following table lists the PM IOPs that are supported in Experion R300 by the C200

and C300 Controllers. All other PM IOPs not listed here are NOT qualified/supported.

Note that the term I/O Processor (IOP) is also referred to as I/O Module (IOM) to

provide a consistent reference for the various styles of I/O interface components.
