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.
