8C-PDILA1 EMERSON Series 8 Controller and I/O

Honeywell’s C300 Controller provides powerful and robust control for the distributed control system (DCS).
The C300 is a node in operating Honeywell’s field-proven deterministic Control Execution Environment (CEE) core software. The CEE software provides a superior control execution and scheduling environment. Control strategies for each controller node are configured and loaded through a common Control Builder, an easy and intuitive engineering tool.
In addition to a standard and robust library of pre-built function blocks and algorithms, the C300 Controller also supports Custom Algorithm Blocks (CABs). Custom Algorithm Blocks are similar in purpose and structure to the standard function blocks that are distributed with Control Builder. However, CABs have user-defined algorithms and data structures, allowing custom tailored strategies to be developed to specific requirements.
The C300 controller shares its hardware design with the Series 8 I/O, offering an innovative design that reduces footprint and installation and maintenance costs. The C300 controller module is mounted on the C300 Input Output Termination Assembly (IOTA). The C300 IOTA contains only passive devices such as FTE address switches. Figure 1 below depicts the IOTA components.
