Note that when connecting Redundant C300 Controller pairs, connect the 
primary controller IOLINK and the redundant partner IOLINK to the same 
IOLink cable pair.

Connect IOTA board to GND and 24 Vdc bus bars. 
•  Install screw through right side of IOTA board to tap into the COMMON 
24V bus bar of carrier.

Install the two-wire twisted pair Battery cable onto the MEMORY HOLD-UP 
connector on the left side of the IOTA board.

Set the Device Index (FTE DEVICE INDEX) of the controller using the three 
rotary decimal switches located on the IOTA board.  Set the switches to a 
three digit address ranging from 001 to 510.  The leftmost switch (100) is 
used to set the hundreds digit.  The middle switch (10) is used to set the tens 
digit and the rightmost switch (1) sets the ones digit. 
 
 
 
The Device Index of all non-redundant and primary C300 Controllers is set to 
an odd number address.   
Note:  The FTE DEVICE INDEX setting on the switches should match the 
Device Index
 number entered on the Controller block’s configuration form 
Main tab.

Insert the C300 Controller module onto IOTA board making sure that the 
controller circuit board mates properly with the IOTA board connector.   
Secure the controller module to the IOTA board with two screws located at 
each side of the plastic cover.
