MODCELL Multiloop Processor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.4.12
2020N Remote I/O Interface Module
Remote Input and Output Modules expand the I/O capability of a MODCELL Multiloop
Processor to a total of 150 discrete points. The modules communicate to the Multiloop
Processor over the CS-31 Remote I/O Network, an RS-485 bus which connects the
remote I/O base units to the 2020N Remote I/O plug-in module. This module is not
required to reside in a communications slot, leaving the three communications channels on
the MODCELL Multiloop Processor open for host or peer-to-peer communications. See
Section 3.7 for remote I/O interface connections. Remote I/O digital connections are
described in IB-23C601.

COMMUNICATION MODULES
The descriptions included in this section give a brief overview of the functions and
features of the communication modules.
1.5.1
2030N ICN Communication Module
The ICN Communication module provides Instrument Communication Network (ICN)
communications capability for the Multiloop Processor. The ICN is proprietary network
that allows peer-to-peer communications between instruments and can be used with the
MOD 30 Instrument line. It also uses a communication link to a computer running the
Application Builder, or PC-30 Series Software or other operator interface software. The
ICN Baud rate is 31,250 bits per second. The Model B ICN requires an external ICN
terminator such as the 2030F ICN Terminator.
