2500 Series® Compact
OVERVIEW
The 2500 Series® Compact PAC System delivers all of
the performance and reliability of the 2500 Series®
Classic System in a significantly smaller form factor.
Featuring the same programming software and
instruction set, and the same communication, remote I/O
and data sharing protocols, the 2500 Series® common
architecture allows Compact System users to get up to
speed quickly using existing tools and diagnostics and to
integrate Compact Series products with other 2500
Series® products easily.
The 2500 Series® Compact System includes a family of
Processors comparable to our 2500 Series® Classic
Processors, as well as a wide range of digital, analog and
specialized I/O modules, power supplies, and bases. The
Compact System works seamlessly with Classic 2500
Cxxx processors, as well as Simatic® 545 and 555
processors to manage everything from small discrete
control applications to large process applications with PID
loops, alarms, and special mathematical functions. The
CTI approach to automation emphasizes continuous
evolutionary improvement, compatibility across
successive product generations and operational simplicity
to help customers optimize plant performance at the least
possible cost.
Small Package, Big Performance
The 2500 Series® Compact PAC system provides the
same functionality found in many larger systems, but in
a smaller form factor and at a lower cost. The 2500
Series® Compact PAC system is fully compatible with all
other 2500 Series® products, ideal for mixing and
matching products from various product lines to best
meet application requirements.
Whether you’re building a machine or a new process
control system, the 2500 Series Compact® PAC System
offers:
• Choice of processors to fit your requirements
• Full-featured performance supporting up to 8192
I/O points and 512 PID loops
• Advanced functionality
• Hot swappable modules
• Multiple remote I/O network options
• Easy connection to other 2500 Series® products
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
• Coprocessor modules providing high volume data
management and communication with major
industrial Ethernet protocols
• Support for redundancy in power supplies, remote
base controllers and CPUs
