CTI 2500 Series® Continuous Evolutionary Improvement

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.

Simply SeamlessTM

The 2500 Series®  Classic PAC System includes a broad range of products for process

control which are designed to work seamlessly across product generations and control

layers.  From the Device Layer, including a full line of digital,analog, and specialized I/O

modules for handling almost any input or output specification, to the Control Layer with its

powerful CPUs and rugged HMI Touch-Panels,  the 2500 Series®  Classic PAC System

provides a complete range of options for process control.

Classic 2500 processors, power supplies and bases work seamlessly with Classic and

Compact I/O and special function modules, and our Classic I/O, power supplies, bases,

and remote Compact I/O work seamlessly with 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.

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
