CTI 2500-RBC Profibus Remote Base Controller

2500-RBC Profibus Remote Base Controller

The 2500-RBC Profibus Remote Base Controller (RBC) allows a CTI 2500 Series® or Simatic® 505 I/O base to function as a slave node on a DP I/O channel that complies with the PROFIBUS standard.

The Remote Base Controller is a direct replacement for the Siemens® 505-6870 RBC. Note that the 2500-RBC does not provide for programming the PLC over its serial port.
