CTI 2500 Series® Compact Programmable Automation Control System

OVERVIEW

The 2500 Series® Compact PAC System delivers all of

the performance and reliability of the 2500 Series®

Classic System in a significantly smaller form factor.

Featuring the same programming software and

instruction set, and the same communication, remote I/O

and data sharing protocols, the 2500 Series®

common architecture allows Compact System users to get up to

speed quickly using existing tools and diagnostics and to

integrate Compact Series products with other 2500

Series® products easily.

The 2500 Series® Compact System includes a wide

range of digital, analog and specialized I/O modules,

power supplies, and bases. These products work

seamlessly with Classic 2500-Cxxx processors, the new

Compact 2500C-Cxxx processors (coming soon), as well

as Simatic 545 and 555 processors to manage everything

from small discrete control applications to large process

applications with PID loops, alarms, and special

mathematical functions. The CTI approach to automation

emphasizes continuous evolutionary improvement,

compatibility across successive product generations and

operational simplicity to help customers optimize plant

performance at the least possible cost. 

Small Package, Big Performance

The 2500 Series® Compact PAC system provides the

same functionality found in many larger systems, but in

a smaller form factor and at a lower cost. The 2500

Series® Compact PAC system is fully compatible with all

other 2500 Series®

products, ideal for mixing and

matching products from various product lines to best

meet application requirements.

Whether you’re building a machine or a new process

control system, the 2500 Series Compact® PAC System offers:

 Full-featured performance supporting up to 8192

I/O points

 Rugged metal industrial platform—no plastic

 Advanced functionality
