What is the difference between i3B and i3C IMO cube?
Solution:
The i3B and i3C series of controller incorporates the touch screen option. The difference being: i3B - 160x120 pixel display - 2 color i3C - 320x240 pixel display with 32 bit color support The i3 series of controllers are unique in that the screen, PLC, and I/O are built on board. The i3C series (Color Touch Screen) is the only model we stock that has the option of NO on-board I/O - just the networking and PLC elements remain - making this is perfect solution for remote applications. The i3 configuration utility is ideal as the PLC and the screen element can be programmed in ONE piece of software - not traditionally done in two. As well, in most cases you need to establish communications between the PLC and the screen, in the i3 controller - all the elements are addressed right on the ladder - making it fast and easy to program. We provide the customer elements such as graphs, bar graphs, buttons, lights, and misc graphics that can be static or animated in his program. The client can also create bitmaps and import into the controller to customize around their application. In the screen editor, the client is able to drop, then double click on the object to easily set it up and program it. Attached is the basic introduction - which in one chapter it illustrates some screen set up and illustration. With the built-in high speed serial ports - you are able to connect to a number of external devices, expansion modules, even PC and Scada. The modem and Ethernet options allow for greater communication.
