Global Standards

All MicroSmart controllers have regulatory agency certifications for the worldwide market including: cULus Listed for Class I Division 2 hazardous locations, CE compliant, and certified for marine use by Lloyd’s Registry.

Compatibility

For added convenience, the same expansion I/O modules and accessories can be used on both the MicroSmart and MicroSmart Pentra controllers. In fact, both controllers also share the same architecture, instruction set and programming software. The use of a single platform for all IDEC PLCs means you won’t have to reprogram or learn a new system to alternate from one to another.

Simple Programming

Relax. Programming doesn’t need to be hard or take a lot of your time. With IDEC WindLDR Software, you can configure, modify and monitor your MicroSmart programs with ease. This powerful and intuitive software makes it simple to get your system up and running. Now supporting Online Editing and Simulation mode.

Compact and Modular Design

Every CPU module comes equipped with embedded I/O points or you can conveniently add additional snap-on expansion modules for up to 512 I/Os based on your system requirements. All IDEC controllers are DIN-rail and panel mountable.

Customizable Structure

Feel the freedom. The ability to customize for the functions you need allows you to create the perfect system for your applications. Add an HMI m
odule, a Real Time clock module or even an optional EEPROM module.
