This Advanced Function Module includes high-speed processing and multi-protocol communications support to provide existing systems with a significant increase in performance, features, and functionality.

The 2500P-ECC1 Ethernet Communications Coprocessor provides state-of-the-art features and performance for Ethernet communication when using CTI 2500 Series® Processors. It uses a dynamic memory cache to give extremely quick response to queries from HMI systems, with no dependence on CPU scan time. It also provides a fully configurable interface for setting up Modbus-TCP, and CAMP client/server communications. Most importantly, it features a completely new facility which provides peer-peer network communications between PLCs using a new "report on change" protocol - Network Data Exchange.

The 2541 Redundant Processor Manager (RPM) provides an automatic backup solution for 2500 Series® PLCs. If the active PLC fails, the RPM will automatically switch the remote I/O to the standby PLC. Transfer to the standby PLC is bumpless. All remote I/O updates are mirrored to the standby PLC. In addition, up to 4096 words of user-defined critical data can be transferred from the active PLC to the standby PLC every scan. Other non-critical data can be transferred over several scans. The RPM can also switch up to two serially attached operator interface devices

The 2572-A Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter is the next generation 2572 network interface module for 2500 Series® or Simatic® 505 controllers. The 2572-A provides connectivity to Ethernet networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II and Transmission Control/Internet Protocol standards, at 10M or 100M speeds. IMPORTANT NOTE: 2572-A HAS BEEN MATURED.  IT IS REPLACED BY 2572-B or 2500P-ECC1, WHICH SHOULD BE USED ON ALL NEW DESIGNS.

The 2572-AF Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter with Optical Fiber Connection is the next generation 2572 network interface module for 2500 Series® controllers. The 2572-A provides connectivity to Ethernet networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II and Transmission Control/Internet Protocol standards, at 10M or 100M speeds.  IMPORTANT NOTE: 2572-AF HAS BEEN MATURED.  IT IS REPLACED BY 2572-B or 2500P-ECC1, WHICH SHOULD BE USED ON ALL NEW DESIGNS.

The 2572-B Fast Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter is the next generation Ethernet network interface module for 2500 Series® or Simatic® 505 controllers. The 2572-B provides connectivity to Ethernet networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II and Transmission Control/Internet Protocol standards, at 10M or 100M speeds.

The 2572 Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter is a network interface module for 2500 Series® or Simatic® 505 controllers. The 2572 provides connectivity to Ethernet networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II and Transmission Control/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) standards. IMPORTANT NOTE: 2572 HAS BEEN MATURED.  IT IS REPLACED BY 2572-B or 2500P-ECC1, WHICH SHOULD BE USED ON ALL NEW DESIGNS.

The 2573-MOD provides support for communicating with serial and Modbus plant floor devices such as modems, bar code readers, scales, displays, printers, and other PLCs.

The 2576 allows a 2500 Series® PLC to read I/O devices on a DeviceNet™ network. The module provides one DeviceNet™ channel which can attach up to 63 network devices. Multiple modules can coexist in the same I/O chassis. IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS PRODUCT WAS MATURED ON DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN NEW DESIGNS.

The 2577 allows a Profibus Master to read any PLC V, WX, X, and C memory location and write any V, WY, and C memory location over Profibus.
