Module Installation

The 2500P-ECC1 can be installed in a CTI 2500 Series or SIMATIC® 505 PLC base. Before installing the

module, remove AC power from the base. Using the guides, align the circuit board with one of the I/O

slot connectors in the base. Slide the 2500P-ECC1 module into the rack until the connector seats. Then

use the thumbscrews to secure the module in the rack.

Connection via a Network Switch

If multiple 2500-ECC1 modules are communicating with the Host Controller, they should be

connected via an external Ethernet switch.

In this example, port 1 of the ECC1 should not be connected to the network. However, you

could directly connect a laptop PC to this port for programming or maintenance tasks.

Apply power to the ECC1 Module

After installing the module, apply power to the base and observe the module LEDs. 

The expected module behavior will depend on whether you transferred the configuration via

the SD card or you chose to transfer the configuration later via the Ethernet port.
