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, using a 2572 / 2572-A Ethernet module,

or using the 2500P-ECC1 Ethernet Communications Coprocessor. 

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.
