By combining a PLC and HMI, the IMO i3 Controller simplifies design & installation

The latest IMO i3 controller reduces both equipment costs and integration time when compared to using a PLC and separate HMI. These combination units offer a single, easy to mount unit.
The i3 controller series has been expanded to include a larger colour touch screen controller, faster scan rate and a wider operating temperature range.
It is compact powerful and has many unique connectivity features: the GRPS modem option, which is designed for applications where the controller is at a remote field location anywhere in the world.
Based upon the i3A and i3B controller architecture, the new i3C features a 5.7” TFT colour touch screen with 32,000 colours, a faster 0.2ms/K scan rate and has the same built-in I/O options and uses the same communications options as our i3A and i3B controllers.
Many specialist vehicles contain a variety of high tech equipment and software. These system are often produced by several suppliers, therefore having a variety of different interfaces. The i3solves this problem by providing the user with a single interface running on a touch screen PC.
Available with a combination of Digital and Analogue I/O – including Remote I/O – and Integrated Thermocouple and PT100 inputs, the i3 controller is suited to both process control and factory automation applications, especially as it is backed by IMO’s unique 3-year warranty.
Remote monitoring, control and programming of devices can reduce service visits required and allow first class customer service to provided to end customers. It minimizes downtime, maximises productivity and reduces servicing costs by allowing the possibility of fault diagnosis without visiting site.
IMO’s new i3 controller reduces equipment costs, and the time for integrating discrete PLC and HMI combinations, by the simple means of combining both functions, as well as open bus communications, all in a single, easy to mount unit backed by IMO’s unique 3-year warranty.
