FAQ

Q: What is the difference between C70 and C70R?
A> The "R" suffix indicates redundancy-ready capability. The C70R can be configured in a redundant pair for fault-tolerant control, while the standard C70 is for single-CPU applications.

Q: Can the 900C72R-0100-43 be used for SIL-rated safety applications?
A> No. For SIL-rated safety control, use the 900C70S-0360-00 Safety CPU module series.

Q: What is the maximum I/O capacity?
A> The C70R supports extensive I/O capacity. Refer to the latest HC900 system documentation for exact limits based on module configuration and scan time requirements.

Selection Tips

• Use 900C72R-0100-43 for large-scale process control requiring redundancy
• Pair with 900RR0-0300 redundant CPU rack for full redundancy
• Verify ControlEdge Builder version supports C70R firmware
• For safety applications, migrate to 900C70S Safety CPU series
