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.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON MAXIMUM  ETHERNET CONNECTION LIMIT

The 2500C-J750 permits a maximum of 64 Ethernet connections. 

This is the TOTAL of all Client protocol connections that are configured,

plus whatever external devices connect to Server protocols.

For example, suppose an application has:

5 Modbus clients configured

4 Modbus devices which connect to the Modbus Server

16 Ethernet/IP scanner devices configured

2 devices which connect to the Ethernet/IP Tag Server

8 CAMP Client connections configured

4 devices which connect to CAMP Server

4 devices which connect to OPC-UA Server

This application has used (5+4+16+2+8+4+4) or 43 out of

the possible 64 connections.
