CTI JANUS CONTROLLER QUICK START GUIDE

Purpose of this Document

This document is designed to assist you in unpacking and initial installation of the CTI Janus Programmable
Automation Controller (PAC). It also describes options for setting the network parameters required for
basic operation.
For assistance with configuration and operation, we recommend that you download the Janus Controller
Installation and Operation Guide from the CTI web site: www.controltechnology.com/support/manuals/.

Introduction

The CTI Janus PAC is an advanced, high-performance IEC-61131-3 compliant PLC with unmatched
integrated communications capabilities and diagnostic features. The processor provides real-time control
functions, connectivity, data handling, and visualization in one product.

Unpacking the Module

Open the shipping carton and remove the special anti-static bag that contains the module. After
discharging any static build-up, remove the module from the static bag. Do not discard the static bag.
Always use this bag for protection against static damage when the module is not inserted into the I/O base.
CAUTION:
The components on the Janus Controller can be damaged by static electricity discharge.
To prevent this damage, the module is shipped in a special anti-static bag. Static control precautions
should be followed when removing the module from the bag and when handling the printed circuit
board during configuration

Setup

The Janus Controller is shipped with the battery and internal SD card installed. The firmware is pre-loaded
on the SD card and ready for operation.
By default, the Janus CPU will automatically obtain network settings (IP Address and Subnet mask) from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server if available. This allows easy access to the controller
web server for setting a fixed IP Address and configuration parameters. You must connect an Ethernet cable
from a network switch to any of the front panel ports (P
A, P
B, P
C, or P
D) to use this feature.

If a DHCP server is not available, the network settings can be set manually after startup as described below.

  • Page 1 CTI JANUS CONTROLLER QUICK START GUIDE Purpose of this Document This document is designed to assist you in unpacking and initial installation of the CTI Janus Programmable Automation Controller (PAC). It also describes options for setting the network parameters required for basic operation.
  • Page 2 Installation The Janus Controller must be installed into the first slot in the base (next to the power supply). Remove power from the chassis. Align the circuit board with the connector next to the power supply. Slide the controller into the rack until the connector seats. Use the thumbscrews to secure the controller to the rack.
  • Page 3 Each keyword/value combination must be entered on a separate line. If keywords are duplicated, only the first entry is processed – the others are ignored. e) Copy the ‘cti.ini’ file created above to the root directory of a SD card and insert that card into the front panel SD card slot.
  • Page 4 Janus Controller Configuration via Web Server At this point, the Janus Controller should have valid network parameters that allow it to be configured via the embedded web server. The web server can be accessed by typing the IP address of the controller into the URL box of your browser and pressing the E key.
