Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct ACN controller for your Metso DNA system:
- Step 1 – Identify your DNA system version (e.g., DNA 2013, DNA 2016, DNA 2020)
- Step 2 – Check rack slot configuration — C20 occupies a standard double-width slot
- Step 3 – Confirm I/O node count — ACN C20 supports up to 20 I/O nodes per controller
- Step 4 – Verify firmware revision — D201463 requires compatible DNA firmware baseline
- Step 5 – Evaluate redundancy requirements — pair with a second D201463 for hot-standby redundancy
