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

2500 Series® Systems to include small drops of I/O connected

over Ethernet. 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 allows transparent 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, or using a 2572 / 2572-A

Ethernet module. Note that when using 2572 or 2572-A 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.
