Model 2700 Automation Controller

The 2700 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 2700 Series accepts a variety of modules, including:

	Models 2201, 2202, 2203, and 2221 DC Input and Output Modules
	Model 2204 Thumbwheel/Display Module
	Model 2206 Single or Dual-axis Stepping Motor Modules
	Models 2207 and 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 2215 and 2220 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 2700 Series is considerably enhanced through the use of a highly-integrated plug-in CPU, providing very impressive response times. This performance level, combined with the controller’s 30K user memory capacity and extended I/O and step capacities, make the 2700 Series appropriate for applications usually requiring systems costing significantly 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 56 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 2700 Series also offers strong communications and networking (Ethernet) capabilities, making this controller family a powerful ally for those involved in demanding automation projects.
