Module installation: redundant IOTA (CC-TUIO41, 12 inches), non redundant IOTA (CC-TUIO31/CC-TAIL51, 9 inches), supporting hot swappable maintenance

3. Communication scheme

UPC supports two mutually exclusive communication methods, adapting to different distances and topology requirements:

Communication solution core component transmission parameter topology support

CN100 IO HIVE CC-IION01 CN100 module, SFP optical module single-mode 10km, multi-mode 2km, copper cable 100m star type, supporting 20 sets of controller allocation

Traditional FOE MOXA EDS-305 series fiber optic extender single-mode 10km, multi-mode 2km star shaped, daisy chain (7 remote points), hybrid topology

Key features: CN100 supports 1280 IO channels, optional ControlSolver license (240/800 points), FOE supports "leapfrog" inter cabinet connections

4. Marshalling scheme

Provide three grouping methods to meet different signal processing requirements:

Grouping type, core components, key functions, applicable scenarios

Universal Marshalling CC-USCA01 signal conditioning component+SCA adapter supports 16 channels, including isolation, relay, and intrinsic safety barrier for general scenarios, requiring signal conditioning/safety isolation

VIPER 51454988 series terminal assembly+IOA accessories 8-channel/module, supporting fuse, disconnect testing, HART transparent transmission of complex signals, requiring flexible configuration of IOA

Weidmuller's on-site terminal components are passive and direct, supporting 2-wire signals with shielded terminals for simple signals, pursuing low-cost deployment

SCA adapter types: including 11 models such as direct pass, relay input/output, low-level input, analog/digital isolator, intrinsic safety barrier, etc

Installation and deployment specifications

1. Installation prerequisites

Support requirement: The installation structure should bear a load of ≥ 1200lbs and be fixed with M10 × 1.5mm A2-70 grade bolts

Space requirements: There should be no obstruction around the cabinet to ensure heat dissipation. Outdoor installation requires a sunshade (to avoid direct sunlight)

Transportation specifications: horizontally placed on shock resistant trucks, vibration load ≤ 0.5Gs, stacking prohibited

2. Wiring and Grounding

Cable entry: Only bottom entry is allowed, supporting up to 30 cable gland heads, requiring IP66 grade accessories

Grounding requirements: protective grounding (PE) wire ≥ 10AWG, EMC grounding requires 4AWG wire (up to 5 meters long), equipped with safety grounding bar, instrument grounding bar, shielding grounding bar

Wiring isolation: Intrinsically safe (IC level) wiring needs to be physically isolated from other wiring and comply with NEC/CEC specifications

3. Topology configuration

Star topology: Up to 16 FOE units can be connected in parallel to C300, with a maximum single-mode distance of 10km

Chrysanthemum chain topology: up to 7 remote UPCs per channel, maximum 10km for single-mode/2km for multi-mode

Hybrid topology: star shaped (16 columns)+daisy chain (7 rows) combination, supporting up to 40 addresses

Maintenance and Service

1. replaceable unit (ORU)

The core maintainable components include: power module, UIO-2/LLAI module and IOTA, FOE fiber extender, fan component (51454248-100), SCA adapter, fuses, etc

2. Fuse specifications
