CTI 2500 Series Programmable Automation Control System

CTI 2500 Series Programmable Automation Control System

Description 

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.

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.

PAC Performance, PLC Usability 

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

Simply Seamless^TM 

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.

Simplicity is Fundamental 

One of the design requirements we have for every product we  make is that it is simple to use. We have laser-like focus on  the needs of industrial process control, including batch,  continuous, and low-to-medium-speed discrete manufacturing  processes, and we harness the best of today’s technology to  address core process control needs as simply and efficiently  as possible. We design our controllers so that it is easy and  straight-forward to perform all of the most widely used  process control tasks.

Our goal is to make our products easy to integrate, easy to  operate, and easy to maintain. The simple memory layout of  our controllers is clean and straightforward. The PLC scan  cycle is flexible and deterministic — allowing custom  configuration while providing control over absolute worst-case  cycle time. All configuration items and operation of control  functions such as PID loops and analog alarms can be set  and/or modified directly from an HMI without dedicated  program logic. We want to get you — and keep you — up  and running as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Cost-Effective Solutions 

Recent introductions of two Advanced Function Modules — an Ethernet Communications Coprocessor (the ECC1), and a  general purpose Application Coprocessor (the ACP1) provide  new options for cost-effective and minimally disruptive  process control solutions.
