Product Description


CTI 2500-RBC 901E-2500-RBC | Profibus Remote Base Controller
PROFIBUS DP Slave Node for CTI 2500/Simatic 505 I/O Bases - Direct Replacement for Siemens 505-6870, 9.6 Kbaud to 12 Mbaud Speeds, GSD File Support
1. Product Overview

The CTI 2500-RBC 901E-2500-RBC is a Profibus Remote Base Controller (RBC) that allows CTI 2500 Series or Simatic 505 I/O bases to operate as slave nodes on a PROFIBUS DP network, designed as a direct replacement for Siemens 505-6870 RBCs in industrial automation systems. It supports Profibus communication speeds from 9.6 Kbaud (1200m max cable distance) to 12 Mbaud (100m max cable distance), compatible with Siemens S5/S7 and other Profibus masters, and works with 4/8/16-slot CTI/Siemens I/O bases, supporting all discrete/analog I/O modules. The module includes a GSD file for easy configuration, LED display for error codes/station addresses, and operates on 5V DC (from I/O base backplane), with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C, ensuring reliable I/O data exchange in manufacturing, oil & gas, and process control applications, ideal for upgrading legacy systems to Profibus DP without replacing existing I/O infrastructure.

4. Installation & Maintenance
Installation: Insert into CTI 2500/Simatic 505 I/O base slot; connect Profibus DP cable to port; power via backplane.
Configuration: Load GSD file into Profibus configurator; set station address (via DIP switches); match baud rate with master.
Maintenance: Weekly: Check LED status (Power, Profibus Communication, Error). Monthly: Inspect Profibus cable connections; verify station address settings. Annual: Clean module vents; test I/O module communication.
Fault Diagnosis: No communication: Check Profibus cable polarity/termination; verify baud rate. Error LED: Use GSD file diagnostics; check I/O module compatibility. No I/O data: Confirm station address; test I/O base backplane power.
