The following table lists some of the differences between the Series A and Series C pulse input
modules.
Series C PIM Series A PIM
Shares the same form factor as the Series
C I/O family.
Requires two form factors to use with C300
controller; series A for the Pulse Input and the series
C form factor for the controller and other I/O
modules.
Supports IOM redundancy. Does not support IOM redundancy.
Supports Dual Pulse Integrity to support
interfacing of custody transfer meters with
pulse outputs.
Does not support Dual Pulse Integrity.
Supports pulse multiplexing that enables
good pulses from a dual pulse input pair to
be copied to the Prover output interface.
Does not support pulse multiplexing.
Supports pulse length measurement in all
channels.
Does not support pulse length measurement in the
last two channels.
Supports configuration of all eight
channels through use of PICHANNEL
block.
Needs two blocks for configuring channels:
l Pulse Input Channel block for configuring the
first six channels.
l Pulse Input Channel with Fast Cutoff block for
configuring the last two channels.
The last two channels can be configured as
Pulse Input channel types or Pulse Input
with Fast Cutoff channel types.
The last two channels can be configured only as
Pulse Input with Fast Cutoff channel types.
2.4 What is Universal Input/Output (UIO) Module?
With R410, an Universal Input/Output (UIO) module is introduced that enables you to configure
the input/output channels within a single IOM. The UIO module supports 32 channels. Each
channel can independently be configured as one of the following types.
l Analog Input channel (0-20mA or 4-20mA)
l Analog Output channel (4-20mA)
l Digital Input channel (with or without broke-wire detection)
l Digital Output channel (with or without broke-wire detection)
