Controller Module
C30 and C30S, C50 and C50S, C70 and C70S, C75 and C75S Controllers share the same features, with exceptions
noted.
CPU model number (C30 and C30S, C50 and C50S , C70 and C70S, C75 and C75S).
Lithium battery (battery tray), which is readily accessible for field replacement. Battery tray on
Controllers C30/C30S, C50/C50S, C70/C70S, and C75/C75S.
Serial Interface Ports
For legacy systems, two serial ports, S1 and S2, each configurable as RS-232 or RS-485 provides
interfaces to a PC, external modem, Modbus devices or Operator Interfaces.
For new systems, two galvanically isolated RS-485 serial ports, S1 and S2 provide interfaces to PC
using RS-485 to usb cable. External modem or Modbus devices may be interfaced using RS-485 to
RS-232 converter. RS-485 interfaces to PC, Control Stations or Modbus devices/host.
