• Connects to CTI and legacy Siemens® /TI CPUs over Ethernet

• Several models with differing I/O capabilities allow you to customize

the solution to your needs

• Extensive intelligent features for processing attached I/O signals:

– Totalization, filtering, forcing, inversion, runtime, and counting on

digital inputs

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.

Note: This unit is designed to work on a battery so +12VDC is operating

voltage, not +24VDC.

NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS MATURE AND IS  NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR

PURCHASE.
