When configuring the EIOC Control Modules, all typical

Function blocks needed for continuous operation are available;

however, the usage of the following Function blocks are limited

in the EIOC:

„ 256 DC’s, EDC’s and DCC’s – used for such applications as

motor control in MCCs.

„ 26 PID’s – analog control where all or most of the signals are

coming from Ethernet Devices.

„ 16 SEQs – Sequence function block used for sequencing

motor control states.

„ 16 STDs – State Transition Diagram used in sequencing and

can be used with the SEQ function blocks.

„ Batch control, SFCs, PLMs, and Equipment Modules are not

supported in the EIOC.

To maintain the capacity of the EIOC, consideration should be

taken to keep modules as lean as possible. Heavy configuration

in the modules will decrease the capacity of 2000 modules in

the EIOC.
