CTI 2500C-R8 Eight-Slot Base

2500C-R8 Eight-Slot Base

The 2500C-R8 Base provides slots for a Power Supply and Remote Base Controller (RBC), and 8 I/O slots for Compact IO modules.

The chassis design allows for subpanel mounting.

The backplane provides power to all the modules and communications between the RBC and I/O slots.

In addition it provides a high-speed data exchange bus which supports all the Compact System’s advanced modules and coprocessor modules.

The high-speed data bus includes the RBC and all 8 I/O slots, and is integrated into the connector on each slot.

Mounting or Installing the 2500C Chassis

1. Mark the location of the base on the mounting panel surface including the mounting holes for the

mounting ears.

2. There are 2 mounting ears. One found on each side of the chassis. Each of the ears provide two

mounting hole locations which must be attached to the mounting panel using a bolt and nut or metal

screws either self tapping or screwed into a drilled and tapped hole.

3. A minimum clearance of 3” should be allowed above and below the chassis to maximize convection

airflow cooling.

4. Drill four holes in sub-panel of NEMA enclosure with a #21 drill bit. Tap the drilled holes with a  #10

32 tap. Install #10 screws through each bracket hole to attach the base to the sub-panel.

5. The 2500C Chassis must be mounted in an appropriate enclosure based on the user environmental

requirements.
