CTI 2500 Installation and Operation Guide V2.8 58
Obtaining the Driver Installation File
You may obtain the USB driver by downloading the driver installation file from the CTI web site
(www.controltechnology.com). The driver file can be stored on a removable device or copied
directly to the hard drive on the PC where the driver will be installed.
This driver is also included with Workshop programming software (V4.11 and above), available
from FasTrak Softworks.
Extracting the installation files
The driver installation file is a zip file that contains all the programs and files needed to install
the CTI USB driver. To extract the installation elements, click on the file to initiate the extraction
process. When the extraction begins, you will be able to choose the folder that will contain the
extracted files.
Installing the USB driver
See the “Installation Instructions” file included with the extracted files to display information on
installing and configuring the driver.
7.3.2 Using the USB Driver
The USB driver is initiated when the CTI 2500 controller is connected to the USB port on your
PC. When installed, the driver will default to the lowest-numbered serial port that has not been
assigned (usually COM3). You can change the COM port number to a different value if needed.
See the Installation Instructions file referenced above for instruction on doing this.
When using Workshop, you will be able to select the assigned COM port as a serial port
connection in the “Fast PLC Setup” option under the File menu. Once the port is selected, you
will be able to access the CTI 2500 controller by selecting the “Fast PLC Connect” option.
7.4 Ethernet Communications
The CTI 2500 controller provides a means to attach the controller to a plant network via an
integrated 10/100Mb Ethernet port. The port automatically negotiates the Ethernet speed and
duplex status.
7.4.1 Automatic IP Address Assignment
Starting with Firmware version 6.07, the 2500 Series controller will automatically assign an IP
address to the local Ethernet port during power up start if no IP address is stored in flash or the
stored IP address is 0.0.0.0. The controller is shipped from CTI in this state. It can also be
placed in this state by resetting the IP parameters to the factory default (see Section 7.4.3) or by
manually setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0. If you manually set the IP address to 0.0.0.0, the link
local IP address will be assigned only after power a power up start.
Automatic IP Address assignment provides a temporary IP address and subnet mask, which
can be used to access web based diagnostic information and to set a permanent IP address
using Workshop or the controller web server.
The IP address will be selected from a reserved set of “link local” IP addresses, which can
range from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask will be set to 255.255.0.0.
Because this set of IP addresses is non–routable, the default router will be set to 0.0.0.0.
