SIMPLY SEAMLESS

The CTI 2500 Series® Automation System

The 2500 Series® has a proud legacy as one of the world’s premier process control platforms and is

known for its capability, simplicity and reliability. CTI has modernized this legendary product line

with smart enhancements and rich features to create a complete automation solution that helps our

customers run their plants as safely, efficiently and seamlessly as possible.

The BLUE Platform

CTI 2500 Series® products are built on the BLUE PlatformTM — CTI’s seamless systems architecture.

Products built on the BLUE PlatformTM are engineered with a consistent design philosophy, a

common operating system and common communications protocols and interfaces. This approach

ensures interoperability between various components of the system as well as between various

product generations to deliver seamless operational communications and control and maximum

efficiency with minimum process downtime and greatly reduced engineering development time.

Whether you choose Classic, Compact or Slice, the seamless systems architecture of the BLUE

PlatformTM will ensure seamless integration and powerful process control. Please contact us to learn

more.

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. 

DESCRIPTION

The 2500C-8-IDO-24V Module outputs a wide range of

DC voltage signals. It is designed to provide 8 solid state

output circuits to switch on or off external devices such as

pilot lamps, motor starters or solenoids using an externally

supplied 24VDC. Front panel LEDs provide visual

indication for output and fuse status.

FEATURES

 Single wide module

 8 channels isolated channel to channel

 Each channel is individually fused

 Sourcing or sinking Outputs

 Channel On/Off Status Indication

 Blown fuse indication and reporting for each

channel

 Uses CTI’s 2500C-32F Connector

 Module supports hot swap

Description

The 2501 module provides an eight channel analog input and four channel analog output design in a compact, single-wide module to fit in the CTI 2500 SeriesTM or Simatic® 505 Series I/O base. It is useful in applications such as machine control, loop temperature control and weighing systems. The 2501 replaces Siemens® 505- 7012 and 505-7016 modules, except in applications which use the built-in scaling feature.

• Fast 6 mSec update time for all channels

• Selectable input/output or input only operating mode

• Bipolar or unipolar inputs per channel

• Inputs: 1500VDC channel-to-PLC isolation

• Outputs:

• 1500V channel-to-channel isolation

• Voltage and current outputs available simultaneously

• Bipolar or unipolar outputs per channel

Specifications

Update Time: 6 mSec – LO density 7 mSec – HI density (all channels including settling time)

Connector: For new installations this module will require a 2500-40F removable wiring connector sold separately. Part Number 2500-40F.

Backplane Power: 3 Watts (maximum)

Wire Gauge: 14-22 AWG

Module Size: Single-wide

Shipping Weight: 1.5 lb. (0.68 Kg)

2500-ADP1 Analogue Wiring Adapter for Series 500

Description of the 2500-ADP1

The 2500-ADP1 is a wiring adapter that converts 500 Series analogue field wiring from the basic format to the 40-pin connector used on CTI 2500 SeriesTM analogue input/output modules.

The 2500-ADP1 is a wiring adapter that converts the analogue field wiring of the 500 Series from the basic format to the 40-pin connector used on CTI 2500 SeriesTM analogue I/O modules.

Converts analogue field wiring from basic format to the 40-pin connector used on the CTI 2500 SeriesTM analogue I/O modules.

This allows for quick upgrades of existing 500 Series systems to the newer, more suitable 2500 SeriesTM.

Features

The 2500-ADP1 cable allows for the following conversions

field wiring:

– 500-5037A 8-channel analogue input connector to CTI 2558 8-channel analogue input 40F connector.

– 500-5047A 8-channel analogue output connector to CTI 2562 8-channel analogue output 40F connector.

Instructions

Method A – Installing a New Module into an Existing 500 Series I/O Adapter

Chassis

1. Disconnect power to the Series 500 chassis

2. Remove the 500-5037A/47A to be upgraded. 

3. Install the 2500-IADP into the slot where the 500 module was removed.

4. Configure the 2558/2562 to match the 500 module to be replaced .
