Introduction
This guide provides information that will assist you in planning and designing activities,
as well as the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of C300 Process Controllers in
an Experion system.
Intended audience
This guide is intended for the following users:
• Persons responsible for system planning, initial hardware installation, and control
strategy configuration
• Operators who help to maintain control system operations on a day-by-day basis
• Service persons responsible for routine maintenance of control hardware and who
also diagnose and repair faults.
Prerequisite skills
It is assumed that you should have some knowledge of Experion control systems and
experience of working in a Microsoft Windows environment.
About this guide
Online documentation reference
Knowledge Builder is the online documentation library for the Experion system. It is
provided on a compact disc and can be installed on a suitable personal computer. If you
are using a printed copy of the C300 Controller Guide, we recommend that you install
Knowledge Builder to take advantage of its online search and reference capabilities.
Other resources and guides in Knowledge Builder provide this same information for
other Experion control hardware, such as Process Manager I/O, Series C I/O, and Series
A Chassis I/O. See Locating related documentation

Control Hardware Planning Guide
Refer to the Control Hardware Planning Guide in Knowledge Builder for a general
discussion of planning activities for Experion Control hardware that covers:
• Initial planning and design
• Control network considerations
• Control hardware configuration

Series C control hardware
Series C control hardware consists of the following system components:
• C300 Controller is a distributed process controller and I/O gateway for the
Experion system. With only a few exceptions, the C300 Controller fully supports
configuration, load and execution of the standard function blocks supported in
previous Experion releases, (R210).
• Series C Input/Output Modules that feature HART-capable AI and AO modules,
and a low level Mux AI module. Digital input modules that support high voltage AC
and 24V DC inputs, and a Digital Output module that provides 24 VDC.
• The Series C Fieldbus Interface Module, (Series C FIM) which is designed to
complement the C300 Controller and support Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE)
communications within Experion R300 systems or later.
• A 9-port Control Firewall, (CF9) provides eight FTE interface connections for
C300 Controllers and Series C FIMs within a control cabinet and one uplink to the
supervisory FTE communications network.
Series C form factor
All Series C control hardware is constructed using the same form factor; that is, the C300
Controller modules, Series C I/O modules, Control Firewall modules, and Series C FIMs
all mount on their associated Input Output Termination Assemblies (IOTAs), which are
installed on carrier hardware specifically designed to support Series C hardware
installation. The module’s circuit board assemblies are housed in a plastic case with a
round faceplate that identifies the module type and model number along with status
LEDs and a four-character alphanumeric display. The IOTA contains connectors that
accept the associated control module and the various I/O connectors for cables that
connect to other Series C control hardware. Figure 1 shows an example of the design.

I/O User’s Guide and the Series C Fieldbus Interface Module User’s Guide.
C300 Controller
The C300 Controller is constructed using the Series C form factor that employs an Input
Output Termination Assembly (IOTA) and an electronics module which mounts and
connects to the IOTA. One C300 Controller contains all of the control functionality and
most of the communications functions that previously required a C200 controller chassis
filled with plug-in modules. This smaller controller footprint and ease of installation,
combined with enhanced functionality that is built upon C200 performance, provides
greater value for Experion users.
The C300 Controller fully supports configuration, load and execution of the standard
function blocks supported in previous Experion releases, (R210). Note that there are a
few exceptions defined below.
Exceptions
The following function blocks are not supported by the C300 Controller in Experion
Release 300.1:
• The LIOM function block set.
• CAB related function blocks other than the Custom Data Block (CDB)
• The REEOUT Function Block – an ACE only function block
• Series A IOM function blocks not listed in Table 1 Series A I/O Modules supported
by C300 Controller.
C300 Controller redundancy
The C300 Controller may operate in both non-redundant and redundant configurations.
Redundant operation requires a second identical controller and connecting cables, which
is the typical configuration.
C300 Controller block
When a C300 Controller block is added to the Project tree in Control Builder, a graphic
representation of a controller module and its resident function blocks appears as shown in
Figure 2. The function blocks that are contained in the controller support multiple
execution environments. A Control Execution Environment block (CEEC300) and two
10 Experion C300 Controller User's Guide R301.1
Honeywell 11/06
Series C control hardware
C300 Controller execution environments
IOLINK blocks are contained in the controller and appear under the controller. When the
controller block is configured as redundant, the secondary controller block is added in the
Project tree.
Figure 2 Redundant C300 Controller block in the Project tree
C300 Controller execution environments
The C300 Controller supports three Execution Environment (EE) function blocks. One is
the Control EE block, (CEEC300) which is essentially the same block found in the C200
controller. The other two are I/O Link blocks, (IOLINK) similar to the IOLINK block
available with the C200. The IOLINK blocks in the C300 support connection and
communication with PMIO I/O control hardware, (as with the IO Link Interface Module
in C200 controllers), but also support connection and communications with all Series C
I/O modules.
CEE function block
The Control Execution Environment (CEEC300) block is a function block which is
similar to the CEE blocks in the C200 and ACE controllers and uses the same library of
R301.1 Experion C300 Controller User's Guide 11
11/06 Honeywell
Series C control hardware
I/O modules supported by the C300 Controller
block types. The CEEC300 block provides an execution and scheduling environment in
which user-configured Control Modules (CMs) and Sequential Control Modules (SCMs)
execute. This block also provides a peer-to-peer communications layer used to
communicate between other controllers. The CEEC300 block supports communication
and containment of Series A I/O module and channel blocks.
IOLink function blocks
Two IOLINK function blocks, which represent the 2 physical IO links on the C300
Controller IOTA, provide the I/O Link interface to support communications with PMIO
I/O module card files and/or Series C I/O modules. Each IOLINK is configured to
support either PMIO I/O or Series C I/O modules, or ‘No Link’ if no I/O control is
required. Each IOLINK supports redundant and non-redundant communications and
contains the same functionality as the IOLINK blocks used in the C200 controller and
IOLIM interface.
I/O modules supported by the C300 Controller
The C300 Controller is connected to the associated I/O hardware by a pair of I/O Link
Interface cables. All Series C I/O modules and all PMIO I/O modules qualified for use in
Experion are supported by the C300 Controller.
For a list of the supported I/O modules, see,
• Planning Your Input/Output Processor (IOP) Cards for a list of supported IO
modules.
• Viewing supported Series C I/O modules for a listing of available Series C IO
modules.
A number of Series A I/O chassis-based modules have been qualified for support with
the C300 Controller. Some of these modules are implemented in a Control Component
Library (CCL). Table 1 lists the I/O modules that are qualified for use with the C300 in
Experion Release 300.

Table 2 identifies the C300 Controller components and its associated components. The
C300 Controller supports non-redundant and fully redundant operation. Redundancy is
built in to the controller, so that just adding another controller and a redundancy cable; a
redundant controller pair is achieved. Note that the ‘CC’ designation on the model
number indicates the printed wiring boards are conformally coated for additional
protection from the environment, (CU = uncoated).
