Our new family of Janus PACs will bring completely new capabilities to

the CTI 2500 Series® System. Designed to work seamlessly with existing

Siemens/TI 505® and CTI 2500 Series® Systems as well as to look to

the future with state-of-the-art programming, protocols, and capabilities,

including direct access to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) using

MQTT, these PACs are very fast, agile and optimized for quick, easy and

cost-effective communications.

Our new Janus PAC includes integrated drivers to a wide variety of

protocols, allowing communications with best-in-class I/O, drives,

and HMI/SCADA no matter the manufacturer.

It also utilizes CTI’s budget- and user-friendly new Janus Workbench

Software programming package that includes all IEC programming

languages. Initially available in our Classic size, this family now includes

fully featured Compact versions as well.

Features

• Up to 10x execution speed compared to current 2500 Series CPUs

• Programming is done using CTI’s Janus Workbench Software development

package which includes all IEC-61131 languages (SFC, FBD, LD, ST and IL)

• Built-in Remote I/O interface with support for all existing 2500 Series

discrete and analog modules

• External SD card for user backup and file transfer while in RUN mode

• Four Ethernet ports with internal switch that supports simultaneous

connection to four different Ethernet networks

• Embedded HMI function to easily create and view graphics screens for

local operator interface directly from the PLC

• Extensive built-in communications capabilities:

• Optimized peer-to-peer communications with all CTI CPUs and the ACP1

• CAMP server for HMI/SCADA access

• CAMP client for communicating with CTI 2572/2572-x and Cxxx processors

• Open Modbus client and server

• EtherNet/IP Scanner/Adapter/Tag Client/Server

• MQTT client for direct access to the IIoT

• OPC-UA server

• Profinet controller and device (future)
