The Model 5100 and 5200 controllers provide high performance and flexible configuration in a small footprint. Model 5100 specifications are immediately below; Model 5200 specifications are further down the page.

Model 5100 Automation Controller

Model 5100 automation controller
The 5100 series is part of Control Technology Corporation's Blue Fusion Family of web based controllers, combining fully configurable digital and analog I/O for up to 48 points, up to 6-1/2 axes of motion control and enterprise connectivity into a single compact package — at a price that's lower than many non-networking controllers. With built-in 10/100 Base T Ethernet, the Model 5100 supports CTC's binary protocol over TCP/IP and UDP, as well as Modbus/TCP.  Also supported are such features as:
  • multitasking, up to 84 tasks
  • Input-linkable counters
  • High-speed encoder input
  • RS-232 and RS-485 ports

Model 5200 Automation Controller

Model 5200 automation controller
The Blue Fusion 5200 is a high performance programmable automation controller designed for industrial discrete and process control applications. CTC’s award winning Blue Fusion controllers combine the features of a PLC, motion controller and PC into a small DIN rail mountable package. The controller can be used in a stand-alone configuration or it can be easily networked via its serial and LAN connections. The built-in web server makes internet or intranet access very easy. For larger applications the 5200 supports up to three expansion racks allowing over 192 I/O points to be managed by a single system.

Depending on the application the 5200 can be configured as remote I/O using a variety of standard protocols including Modbus®, or it can be programmed to independently control complex real-time applications. The 5200 features a proven multi-tasking real-time operating system with plenty of non-volatile memory. Programming the 5200 is simple with CTC’s intuitive Quickstep state language or for advanced applications use C/ C++. You can even combine both languages in a single application. To learn more about the 5200 explore the links above or contact CTC for a demonstration.
