CS300 Bridge Module
Introduction
The CS300 Bridge Module presents a new opportunity to combine the CS300 I/O structure with the
latest processing and communications features of Trusted
TM .
Combining the two products will enable CS300 users to benefit from features such as 3-3-2-0
Processor fault tolerance, IEC 1131 programming suite, Ethernet networks, OPC, Ethernet peer to
peer and remote diagnostics. The CS300 Bridge Module replaces the CS300 ICCB in the CS300
Primary chassis.
Any system using the CS300 Bridge Module and Trusted
TM TMR Processor can also include Trusted TM
Expanders and I/O modules forming a Hybrid system. To the Trusted TM TMR Processor, the Trusted TM
and CS300 chassis appear in the same system map. All systems using Trusted TM TMR Processors
can be seamlessly integrated together.
