INGESYS™ IC2 has a modular and expandable design that permits to achieve an optimal
hardware solution for each application.
Two control topologies are available:
- Centralized topology
In this topology the Controller is integrated by a single central system that incoporates a processor
module and up to 10 I/O modules in a compact mechanical enclosure
- Distributed topology
In this topology the Controller is integrated by the central system expanded with up to 16 Remote
I/Os units connected by a CAN fieldbus.
Remote I/O units are integrated by a header module and up to 8 I/O modules in a compact
mechanical enclosure.
Based on application requirements, the user determines the specific components that will
constitute the automation system, considering the most general architecture, central units
(Processor+Power supply+ Communications+I/Os) and Remote I/O units (Headers+Power
Supply+I/Os). After having defined exactly the components for the Central and Remote I/O units a
compact mechanical enclosure with a unique reference is assigned to each of these units.
