C300 Controller and C200 Controller comparison
If you are familiar with the operation and capabilities of the C200 chassis-based process
controller, then you can readily appreciate the design improvements and greater
capabilities for process control that the C300 Controller provides. The following table is
a listing that compares design features and operational improvements of the C300
Controller with the C200 controller.
Controller Feature Comparison
C200 – Chassis-based controller with plug-in modules for
Control Processor, I/O Link Interface, Redundancy, FTE
interface, Fieldbus, other I/O and control modules.
Form Factor
C300 – A single control module that plugs into an Input Output
Terminal Assembly (IOTA). Control module functions include
a Control processor, two I/O Link interfaces, Redundancy
functions, and FTE interfaces.
C200 – 4MB User Memory
Memory (RAM)
C300 – 16MB User Memory
C200 –Two identically-equipped controller chassis that contain
two Redundancy Modules (RM) provide controller redundancy.
Redundancy
C300 – Controller redundancy function is built in. A second
C300 Controller and redundancy cable is all that is required for
redundant controller operation. (No RMs)
I/O Link Interface C200 – An I/O Link Interface plug-in Module (IOLINK) installed
in the controller chassis is required to connect PMIO I/O to the
