Blue Fusion: Model 5300 Controller
Configuring your 5300 controller

Model 5300 automation controllers offer a fully modular design that can be configured for small local applications or expansive distributed applications. The steps below highlight the configuration process:

1.	Select a CPU module 5300 CPU modules are available in single and dual 200 MHz processor versions and may be ordered with or without removable flash storage. CPUs have multiple serial, USB and Ethernet ports.
2.	Select up to 32 I/O modules CTC offers a wide range of 5300 series I/O modules. Modules are available for digital, analog, networking and motion and come in 4, 8, 16, and 32-channel versions. Up to 32 I/O modules may be controlled by a single CPU module.
3.	Select rack configuration Racks with solid metal construction are available in 2, 4, and 8-slot sections. Each slot holds one I/O or specialty module.
4.	Select bridge units For larger systems, Rack bridge and Power bridge connectors can be used to join up to four rack sections.
5.	Select power supplies Power supplies are available either as right-side end caps or as part of the Power bridge (see step 4) that joins two rack sections together. The power supply module regulates, isolates, and filters all necessary power for the modules to its left. In addition to the input connector, the power supply has a 5 VDC output connector that can be used to power other system components such as motor encoders or sensors. A protective fuse is accessible from the front of the controller. One power supply module is required for every two rack sections.
6.	Add remote I/O racks Sometimes a more efficient solution can be obtained by distributing I/O modules remotely from the main system. Up to 10 remote I/O nodes can be connected to the main CPU module using CTC’s high-speed Ethernet QuickLink (EQL) network. Each EQL node can be separated by up to 100 meters. Each remote EQL node contains: an EQL QuickLink Controller with IN and OUT Ethernet connectors a single rack of 2, 4, or 8 slots a power supply module.
