New CPU design
November 2005
PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Control Technology Inc (CTI) launched a new 505 CPU design to enable end-users to continue using 505 control systems for many years to come. Bringing new features and a new level of process performance, the 2500 Series controllers have been designed to seamlessly replace all the Simatic 545 and 555 Controllers bearing the Siemens trademark while providing much higher performance at lower cost. Consequently, the end user can transparently move their existing systems and programs with no messy conversions required. The C100 and C200 models have been designed to easily handle medium to large discrete control applications, as well as basic process applications.
The C300 and C400 models are equipped to handle large process applications with many PID loops and alarms, and special mathematical functions. The CTI 2500 CPU is supported by CTI's line of digital, analog and specialised I/O modules, power supplies and I/O. Features include: Built-in SD Flash card for program storage, built-in Profibus and RS485 Remote I/O on the C200, C300 and C400 models - as well as up to 3 Mbytes memory, 8192 I/O points, 256 PID loops and 512 alarms, depending on the model. The controllers are compatible with 505 Workshop, Tisoft and APT.
