Using the Siemens Simatic TI505 with the RMC Ethernet Module

The TI505 does not have built-in Ethernet TCP/IP support. However, Control Technology, Inc. sells a module called the CTI 2572 that fits into the TI505 backplane and adds Ethernet TCP/IP to the TI505.

When using this module, the CTI uses a combination of V-memory registers, and I/O registers (WX and WY) on the CTI 2572 itself to communicate from the TI505 ladder logic. It is beyond the scope of this manual to fully describe using the CTI 2572; please refer to the CTI 2572 Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter Installation and Operation Guide (Part #062-00146) that is shipped with the CTI 2572.

The CTI 2572 can read, write, or do a combined read and write from registers in compatible remote devices such as other TI505 PLCs with the CTI 2572 module or the RMC. The RMC has 65536 registers that are accessible from the CTI 2572. See RMC Register Map (Siemens TI505) for details on those registers and their addresses.

If you need help setting up your network, either consult your network administrator, or for simple stand-alone networks, see Setting up a Stand-alone TCP/IP Control Network.
