Model 2600XM Automation Controller


The 2600 Series Automation Controllers are high performance control systems
which accept a wide range of plug-in modules to accommodate specific
applications. These controllers, capable of the combined control of machine
sequencing, motion control, networking and analog data acquisition, use advanced
technology to significantly increase performance and decrease applied costs.
Supplied in an easily panel-mountable format, the 2600 Series accepts a variety
of modules including:
 | Models 2201, 2202, and 2203 DC input and output modules
 | Model 2204 thumbwheel/display module
 | Models 2205
and 2206 single
or dual-axis stepping motor modules
 | Models 2207
and 2209 analog
input and output modules
 | Model 2208 high speed counter module
 | Models 2210 and
2211 AC input and output modules
 | Model 2212 8-channel relay module
 | Models 2213 and 2215 precision analog input and output modules
 | Models 2214
and 2219
dual-axis servo control modules
 | Model 2216
dual channel RS-232 module
 | Model 2217 Ethernet communications module
 | Model 2218 16-in/16-out customization module |
| | | | | | | | | | |
The performance of the 2600 Series is considerably enhanced through the use
of a highly-integrated 16 bit processor, providing response times as fast as
1ms. This performance level, combined with the controllers' 24K user memory
capacity and extended I/O and step capacities, make the 2600 Series appropriate
for applications usually requiring systems costing several times more.
Programming is accomplished using Control Technology's Quickstep™, a
powerful automation language which dramatically reduces programming time.
Software capabilities include the ability to simultaneously run up to 28
independent tasks. and the instruction set includes high-level motion control
commands, as well as time delay, input monitoring, math and data manipulation
commands. These commands make full use of such internal resources as the
controller's Non-volatile and Volatile Registers, user-definable Data Table,
Input-linkable Counters and 32 Flags.
The 2600 Series also offers strong communications and networking (Ethernet)
capabilities, making this controller family a powerful ally for those involved
in demanding automation projects.
