Page 10: Chapter 1 Introduction
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Janus Application Coprocessor Overview The CTI Janus Application Coprocessor (JACP) module augments the communications capability of CTI Janus © Controllers and CTI 2500 Series controllers. It also enables Siemens Series 505 controllers to communicate using modern Ethernet protocols, such as Ethernet/IP and OPCUA. In some applications, it can function as a standalone controller, using Ethernet IO protocols, such as Ethernet/IP scanner and Modbus Client drivers. - Page 11 Security The module supports the following set of security features: • “Secure Boot” process – encryption keys that verify the controller is running an authenticated CTI version of the firmware; • Password protection for accessing JACP module from Janus Workbench (set via Workbench);...

Page 12: Janus Programming Software
Compatibility The JACP module is designed to work in the same plant environment as the CTI 2500 Series PLC and the CTI Janus Controllers. It uses the same programming software as the CTI Janus Controllers. It can function as an Ethernet CAMP server, allowing it to communicate with existing HMI/SCADA workstations and CTI 2572/2572-A/2572-B communications modules. -

Page 20: Applying Power To The Base
This operation requires the following steps: a) Create a file named ‘cti.ini’ using your favorite text editor (Notepad works just fine). The following keywords and associated values must be inserted into this file. The values must be valid network settings expressed in dotted decimal notation. WARNING: Do not use leading zeroes for any of the 4 octets in any of the IP addresses, as leading zeroes in TCP/IP will imply base-8 notation (Don’t use:... - Page 21 – the others are ignored. b) Copy the cti.ini file created above to the root directory of a SD card. The file system of the user SD card should be either FAT32 or EXFAT. This is the way they come when newly purchased. If you have reformatted your SD card with the NTFS file system, or any other file systems, it will not work.

Page 55: Appendix C: Ethernet Port Operation
The answer to this is in the way Ethernet switches work. Ethernet switches learn the MAC address(es) of the device(s) connected to the ports. Once the port associated with a MAC address is known, the switch will forward a frame whose destination address matches this address to this port only. CTI Janus Application Coprocessor IOG... -
