Redundant Fieldbus integrated architecture for CIOM-A FIM
The follo
wing figure shows a sample redundant fieldbus architecture using a pair of
CIOM-A Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs) and Redundancy Modules (RMs) in a
redundant C200 Controller and a redundant remote I/O chassis configuration. The FIM
serves as the communication gateway between the Supervisory ControlNet and/or I/O
ControlNet network and the Foundation Fieldbus H1 communications medium. It
includes a redundant Remote Termination Panel (RTP) for connecting and powering up
to two fieldbus H1 links. The illustration in the following figure is for example purposes
only to show the possible architectural variations for a redundant fieldbus application.
ATTENTION
No chassis I/O modules are permitted in a remote I/O chassis pair configured
for redundant fieldbus support. Only redundancy compliant modules can be
used in a Redundant Chassis Pair configuration. The same is true for the
redundant Controller chassis.
