Model Selection Tips

• 5503-335 is the MicroNet CPU module — verify chassis compatibility
• For simplex configurations, pair with 5501-371 MPU & AIO modules
• For TMR redundant control, use 5466-318 or 5466-350 TMR CPU modules
• Confirm communication protocol requirements (Ethernet vs. serial)
• Check memory capacity for your control application size
