PKS system that uses Ethernet as the supervisory process control network; ACEs do not exist on a Supervisory

Controller Definitions including PLCs which make
use of the same network and utilize Server SCADA
connections:
To ensure no single point-of-failure exists, multiple
Controllers per chassis are not supported. The
ACE is not included in this limit.
One controller in a Non-
Redundant configuration
equals:

1 CL5550

1 PLC5/C or E

1 SLC (Ethernet only)
1 SIM-C200
One controller in a
Redundant configuration
equals:
2 C200s in a Chassis Pair
with 2 Redundancy

2 CL5555s in a Chassis
Pair with 2 Redundancy
Modules

A Logix5550 or PLC5/C counts as a Controller only if a SCADA connection is formed to it. Use of the EXCHANGE
FB does not constitute a SCADA connection.
