Control Technology Inc
A Different Approach.
For 40 years, CTI has helped our customers continuously improve their control systems by providing them with innovative products that deliver new capabilities without necessitating costly and risky system replacement. Our approach allows customers to modernize their control systems without having to discard all the institutional knowledge and investment in product, engineering and programming that has already been made. It is our mission to equip our customers with superior control systems that are simple to operate, easy to integrate, compatible across successive product generations and unfailingly reliable.
Product Overview
PROCESSORS
2500 Series® System includes processor solutions in two form factors and two families. Our "Classic" system is completely compatible and interchangeable with the Simatic®/TI 505, while our “Compact” system maintains compatibility but in a much smaller and more modern form factor. Our “C” family of processors are completely compatible with Simatic®/TI 545 and 555 processors – running the same programs and using the same programming software. Our new “Janus” family of processors programs with an entirely new and modern IEC-standard based development system and includes extensive communications capabilities to operate in today’s data-centric applications. Janus Processors are compatible with all your existing 2500 Series® Classic and Compact I/O, as well as Simatic 505 I/O. Janus also includes a feature to emulate CAMP, the HMI/SCADA communications protocol used by the “C” Series processors. These features make it possible to upgrade the processor in an existing application to add new and more modern functionality, while still preserving the existing I/O and HMI/SCADA systems.
BASES
2500 Series® Bases provides slots for a Power Supply and Remote Base Controller (RBC), and various numbers of I/O modules. A variety of different mounting base options in both Classic and Compact form factors provide flexibility for many local and remote configurations. NEW 2500P bases include the new CTI high-speed channel for installation of Advanced Function Modules.
COPROCESSORS
Co-processor solutions are auxiliary controllers that enhance the capabilities of all CTI 2500 Series® and SIMATIC® 505 PLC systems with high-speed processing and multi-protocol communications support to provide existing systems with a significant increase in performance, features, and functionality.
DIGITAL I/O
POWER SUPPLIES
A variety of power supply solutions are available which differ in their input voltage and load capacity. Our AC supplies feature automatic voltage switching and provide up to 100W of power to the base. They also feature a much longer hold-up time than available in the Siemens® power supply. Did you know that periodic replacement of power supplies is one of the best preventive measures you can take to ensure continued smooth operation of your PLC system? Find out why in our article PLC Power Supply Replacement.
SLICE I/O WITH ETHERNET
Three variations are available, which differ in the mix of digital and analog I/O. All units include an RJ45 Ethernet port allowing you to attach to the network for communication with the processor.Three variations are available, which differ in the mix of digital and analog I/O.

SLICE I/O WITH ETHERNET AND RS232/485
SLICE I/O WITH ETHERNET, RS232/485 AND 900MHZ RADIO
Three variations are available, which differ in the mix of digital and analog I/O. All units include an RJ45 Ethernet port allowing you to attach to the network for communication with the processor. The built-in 900MHz radio transeiver allows you to create a remote network of Slice I/O modules are linked back to a master module which connects to the PLC. The radio system supports line-of-sight distances up to 14 miles.Three variations are available, which differ in the mix of digital and analog I/O.
