CTI 2500C-J750“Janus”Compact Programmable Automation Controller

DESCRIPTION

The new Compact “Janus” Processor brings

completely new capabilities to the CTI 2500 Series®

System.  Designed to work seamlessly with existing

2500 Series® (Classic and Compact) and Simatic®

TI505 Systems as well as look to the future with

state-of-the-art programming, protocols and

capabilities, including support for Industry 4.0

through direct access to the Industrial Internet of

Things (IIOT) using MQTT.

This Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) is

fast, agile and optimized for quick, easy, and cost

effective communications.  It features integrated

drivers to an industry-leading number of protocols,

allowing communications with best-in-class I/O

devices, drives, and HMI/SCADA  no matter the

manufacturer. Programmed with CTI’s user-friendly

and budget-friendly new JANUS Workbench

Software, which supports all IEC-61131-3 programming

languages.

KEY FEATURES

• Programmed using Janus Workbench Software

(JSoft), which allows use of all IEC-61131-3

languages: LD (RLL), FBD, ST, SFC and IL

• Up to 10x execution speed  compared to

current 2500 Series® CPUs

• Built-in Remote I/O and Profibus interfaces

with support for all existing 2500 Series®

discrete and analog modules, Classic and

Compact.  NOTE: Special Function modules are

not currently supported, However, due to the

enhanced communication capabilities of the

Janus controller, Ethernet-based special function

modules are no longer necessary.

• Built-in web server for diagnostics and statistics

simplifies troubleshooting and support

• Built-in web-based visualization of graphics

pages designed in Janus Workbench

• Entire operating system, firmware, and user

program is contained on a standard SD card,

which makes replacement of the PLC easy,

should you ever have a failure

• Four Ethernet ports with internal switch that

supports simultaneous connection to 4

different Ethernet networks

• Support of multiple communication protocols for

connecting to major HMI and SCADA systems

• Extensive built-in communications capabilities:

 Optimized peer-to-peer communications with

other JANUS Series PACs and 2500P-ACP1 /

2500P-JACP/ 2500P-ECC1 coprocessors

 CAMP Client for communicating with all CTI

Ethernet products (2572. 505-CP2572. 2572-A,

2572-B, 2500P-ECC1. 2500 Series® CPUs)

 CAMP Server for HMI/SCADA access

 Open Modbus Client and Server

 Ethernet/IP Scanner

 Ethernet/IP Adapter

 Ethernet/IP Tag Client

 Ethernet/IP Tag Server

 MQTT client for direct access to the IIoT

 OPC-UA server (firmware 1.24 and above)

 Profinet controller and device (future)

IMPORTANT NOTE ON MAXIMUM  ETHERNET CONNECTION LIMIT

The 2500C-J750 permits a maximum of 64 Ethernet connections. 

This is the TOTAL of all Client protocol connections that are configured,

plus whatever external devices connect to Server protocols.

For example, suppose an application has:

5 Modbus clients configured

4 Modbus devices which connect to the Modbus Server

16 Ethernet/IP scanner devices configured

2 devices which connect to the Ethernet/IP Tag Server

8 CAMP Client connections configured

4 devices which connect to CAMP Server

4 devices which connect to OPC-UA Server

This application has used (5+4+16+2+8+4+4) or 43 out of

the possible 64 connections.
