CTI 2500 Series® Slice Ethernet Remote I/O System

OVERVIEW

The 2500 Series® Slice I/O System is designed for use in a broad range of applications. 

It is compatible with the 2500 Series® Programmable Automation Control System and

offers users the ability to place I/O points in multiple remote locations without the need

for I/O bases and RBCs.

Slice I/O modules communicate to 2500 Series® Processors using CAMP protocol and

read/write directly to the PLC memory or I/O image table.This allowstransparent integration

into the 2500 Series® system without the requirement for any complicated configuration

step. Ethernet connection to the CPU can be accomplished using the on-board port on

2500-Cxxx Processors, using a 2572 / 2572-A/B Ethernet module, or using the 2500P-ECC1

Ethernet Communications Coprocessor.  Note that when using 2572 or 2572-A/B modules,

Slice I/O can be connected even to legacy Siemens® and Texas Instruments PLCs.

Several models of Slice I/O are available with different mixes of I/O and with additional 

communications options including RS232/485 and 900MHz radio. Slice I/O modules feature

Universal Analog Inputs which allow connection of 0-5V, 0-20mA, thermocouple, and RTD

sensors.

All Slice I/O modules can also be configured to communicate over Ethernet using Modbus-TCP

to allow connection to DCS and other automation controllers.

Powerful & Cost-Effective Ethernet I/O

The 2500S family of Slice I/O modules expands the capability of 2500 Series® Systems

to include small modules of I/O connected over Ethernet. It offersmodularity down to a

few I/O points without the need for an I/O base and RBC.

The CTI 2500 Series®  Slice Ethernet I/O System offers:

• Connection to CTI and legacy Siemens®/TI CPUs over Ethernet using CAMP

• Connection to DCS or other automation controllers using Modbus-TCP

• Several models with differing I/O capabilities to customize the solution to your needs

• Serial RS232/485 and 900MHz radio options for additional communications flexibility (900MHz

wireless subject to import limitation, depending on country)

• Extensive intelligent features for processing attached I/O signals:

 Totalization, filtering, forcing, inversion, runtime, and counting on digital inputs

 Frequency out (with PWM) and synchronization on digital outputs

 Filtering, averaging, scaling and totalization on analog inputs

 Data logging and trending

• All module configuration done using a simple web browser interface

• Wide –40°C to +70°C operating temperature range
