Features of UHIO
The key features of the UHIO are:
l Supports both redundant and non-redundant configuration for C300 Controller, UIO module,
and CF9.
l Supports interchangeability of Series C components.
l Minimizes the effort for rewiring.
The UHIO also supports the following features.
l Provides mechanical connection to the TDC 2000 cabinet Backplane.
l Supports cabinet ground connections through the IOTA mounting screws.
l Provides electrical-mechanical connection to the IOM.
l Provides electrical-mechanical connection to the redundant IOL cable pair.
l Supports 24V fused electrical connections to the IOM(s) - Series C 24V and COM power supply.
l Supports a signal common ground.
l Supports precision resistors for measuring analog inputs.

Chapter 2 - Series C I/O Purpose
l Supports connection for up to 24 IO channels on the existing TCBs.
l Supports connection for up to 8 additional IO channels at a location.
l Supports manual reset input(s) for restarting a stopped UIO module.
l Supports voltage or current inputs.
l Supports hot-insertion of C300, CF9, and UIO modules.
2.6.3 UHIO hardware
The UHIO uses the following Series C IO components.
l Plug-in modules such as C300, CF9, and UIO.
l FTE network communications between the controller and Experion Station.
l I/O Link between the controller and all I/O modules.
l Series C cabinet power supply.
l Experion Station and Control Builder as operator and engineering interfaces.
ATTENTION
You cannot differentiate the appearance of the UHIO components from other Series C
components in the Control Builder or the Station though the UHIO components are
horizontally-oriented.
