CTI 2500-CPU-27APR2023 Programmable Controllers

CTI 2500-CPU-27APR2023 Programmable Controllers

Description

The 2500 Series® Controllers bring exciting new  features and a new level of process  performance to Simatic® 505® Control Systems.  The C100 and C200 models easily handle  medium to large discrete control applications, as  well as basic process applications. The C300  and C400 models are equipped to handle large  process applications with many PID loops and  alarms and special mathematical functions. The  2500 Series® Controllers are designed to  seamlessly replace all Simatic® 545 and 555  controllers while providing much higher  performance at lower cost. The controllers are  supported by a complete range of digital,  analog, and specialized I/O modules, power  supplies, and I/O bases, all available from CTI.

FEATURES 

• Replaces all Simatic® 545 and 555 models 

• Built-in Ethernet and USB ports for  programming 

• Built-in SD Flash card for firmware update  from flash 

• Built-in Profibus and RS485 Remote I/O on  C200, C300, and C400 models 

• Up to 3Mbytes memory, 8192 I/O points,  512 PID loops & 512 alarms, depending on  model 

• Programmable using Workshop 

• Integrity® Real Time Operating System for  high-reliability and security

COMPATIBILITY OVERVIEW 

The CTI 2500 Series® Processor is designed to be compatible with customer applications that use the Simatic® 545 and  555 controllers. While the CTI 2500 matches or exceeds the capabilities of these processors in most aspects, there are a  few areas in which the CTI 2500 operates differently.

Relay Ladder Logic 

The RLL used in the controller provides equivalent instructions for all Simatic® 555 instructions except the XSUB  instruction. External subroutines are not supported. If you download a program containing the XSUB instruction, it will be  ignored. In many cases XSUB is used for communications with Siemens® Profibus HMI panels. For these installations  we have a CTI program free on our website which replaces the XSUB. For XSUB uses other than Siemens® HMI panels,  CTI and our partners can develop XSUB replacement software using SF programming. Please contact us.

The controller compiles all SF programs and subroutines. They are compiled in the following situations: 

• When a user program is downloaded to the PLC, if the SF Program or subroutine is enabled, 

• When the SF program or subroutine is enabled, if the SF program has been modified, 

• During a Power Up start (following the application of power).
