CTI 2500 Series® Classic Programmable Automation Control System

OVERVIEW

The 2500 Series® Classic Programmable Automation Control System is designed 

for use in a broad range of applications, including those that require both discrete

and analog control.  2500 Series® products can be found worldwide in numerous

industries, including food and beverage, oil and gas, air separation, pulp and paper,

mining and foundry, building products, printing equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals,

semiconductor, and wastewater/water treatment. CTI designed the 2500 Series®

with a focus on operational simplicity, ease of use, and compatibility across successive

product generations to deliver unsurpassed reliability and the performance you

need at the lowest total cost.

PAC Performance, PLC Usability

The 2500 Series® Classic Programmable Automation Control (PAC) system is a powerful,

flexible, multi application controls system with unmatched reliability and ease of use.

Its modular design and robust process control capability including built-in communications ports

and considerable I/O capacity deliver PAC performance, while its operational simplicity and

ease of use provide PLC-like usability.

For machine control or for small- to large-scale processcontrol, the CTI 2500 Series®

Classic PAC System offers:

 Full-featured performance supporting up to 8192 I/O points*, including both digital and analog I/O,

and hundreds of PID loops and alarms.

 Advanced functionality

 Multiple remote I/O network options

 Easy connection to other 2500 Series® products as well as to many other manufacturers’ products

Continuous Evolutionary Improvement

The 2500 Series® has its roots in the “ahead-of-its-time” Texas Instruments/Simatic

505® Series system known for its robust performance, intuitive design, and elegantly

simple PID and special function programming.  The 2500 Series® reinvigorates and

modernizes this legendary product line with more memory, more speed and many new

features while maintaining backwards compatibility.

The most important feature of every product CTI sells is compatibility

— both backward and forward.  We don’t obsolete our products and expect customers

to buy our latest control system.  Instead, our products are conceived to allow customers

to improve systems incrementally — building on previous investments in equipment,

programming and training.  A brand new controller with modern features will work

seamlessly with I/O modules from ten years ago or from ten years hence. 

This allows you to upgrade your control system at your own pace and with

minimal disruption.
