    Smart relay to drive, one ecosystem

    Smart relays, PLCs, HMIs, variable speed drives, contactors and UL 489 breakers from one manufacturer. The iSmart, i3 and XGB controllers share license-free programming software, and IMO ships from US stock.

    Dynamic is the IMO Automation rep for Northern California and Northern Nevada. We work with the machine builders, panel shops and integrators who decide what runs the machine.

    Where we put IMO to work

    Three places the control layer gets decided.
    The logic stack

    Machine builders

    A few interlocks, a start sequence and a handful of timers fit a smart relay. Once the I/O count climbs or the sequence needs expansion, the machine needs a PLC. With IMO the step is iSmart to i3 to XGB on the same license-free toolchain.

    Industrial automation and production equipmentMachine Intelligence & Control
    The protection chain

    Panel shops

    A UL 489 listed breaker is the branch-circuit protective device a panel inspector expects on each branch. IMO motor circuit breakers, RCBOs and surge protection come from the same catalog. The protection chain is one vendor and one curve family.

    The motor load

    Pumps, fans and conveyors

    IMO Jaguar drives come in compact to heavy frames, with harsh-environment models built for vibration. Give the drive its own motor circuit breaker and room in the panel for the heat it dissipates. The breakers and contactors around the drive come from the same catalog.

    IMO Automation covers the logic, the drive, the HMI and the protection on one line card.

    What IMO makes

    Eight families. Every rating is the factory's figure for the part, confirmed on the datasheet at quote time.
    IMO Jaguar NXG variable speed drive
    01

    Jaguar NXG variable speed drives

    The Jaguar NXG is the IMO variable speed drive for the motor loads on a machine. Jaguar drives come in compact to heavy frames, including harsh-environment models built for vibration. Contactors and motor circuit breakers for the drive come from the same catalog.

    • Harsh-environment models built for vibration
    • Pumps, fans and conveyors

    IMO i3 intelligent controller
    02

    i3 intelligent controllers

    The i3 is the IMO intelligent controller, the step between an iSmart smart relay and an XGB PLC. The i3 uses the same license-free programming as the smart relay and the PLC.

    • License-free programming
    • Same toolchain as iSmart and XGB
    • No runtime license

    IMO iSmart smart relay
    03

    iSmart smart relays and XGB PLCs

    IMO iSmart smart relays handle interlocks, start sequences and timers. XGB PLCs take over once the I/O count climbs or the sequence needs expansion. License-free programming runs across the range, so the step up does not change the toolchain or add a runtime license.

    • Smart relays for small sequences
    • PLCs for higher I/O counts
    • No per-seat fee for the programming software

    IMO iView HMI
    04

    iView HMIs

    IMO iView operator interfaces sit on the same ecosystem as the logic. The HMI on the door comes from the same catalog as the smart relay, the PLC and the drive.

    • On the same ecosystem as the logic
    • One supplier for the logic, the drive and the HMI

    IMO UL 489 miniature circuit breakers
    05

    UL 489 miniature circuit breakers

    IMO Automation miniature circuit breakers are UL 489 listed. A UL 489 listed breaker is the branch-circuit protective device a panel inspector expects on each branch. A supplementary protector is not a substitute for a UL 489 breaker.

    • UL 489 listed for the branch circuit
    • Motor circuit breakers from the same catalog
    • One vendor and one curve family

    Contactors, RCBOs and surge protection

    IMO contactors run from compact through heavy industrial frames, with a 3 W sealed coil that runs cool. Motor circuit breakers, RCBOs and surge protection sit beside the contactors in the same catalog. Cam switches and pilot lights complete the panel.

    • 3 W sealed coil
    • Compact through heavy industrial frames
    • Up to a 5-year warranty on electromechanical components

    IMO SI Series TRUE DC isolator
    07

    Disconnects and DC isolators

    IMO mechanical disconnects isolate the AC supply at the panel. The SI Series TRUE DC isolator (UL 508, 8 million units installed since 2009) goes where a PV string or a DC feeder needs a disconnect you can see and lock. The SIM compact version is about a third smaller for the combiner.

    The engineering behind it

    Why one ecosystem holds up on the customer's floor
    One toolchainThe iSmart, i3 and XGB controllers share license-free programming. A machine that starts on a smart relay steps up to a PLC without a new toolchain.
    No runtime licenseThe programming software carries no runtime license and no per-seat fee.
    One platform to learnOne platform the maintenance team learns once, one supplier to call, and parts on the shelf the same day.
    One protection vendorBreakers, motor circuit breakers, RCBOs and surge protection come from one catalog and one curve family.
    A coil that runs coolIMO contactors use a 3 W sealed coil, chosen for switching stations that run on solar, battery and mains.
    From US stockSame-day dispatch from US stock, with up to a 5-year warranty on electromechanical components.

    Questions engineers ask us

    Straight answers on the control layer
    When is a smart relay enough, and when does a machine need a PLC?

    Count the I/O and the timers. A few interlocks, a start sequence and a handful of timers fit a smart relay. Once the I/O count climbs or the sequence needs expansion, the machine needs a PLC. With IMO the step is iSmart to i3 to XGB on the same license-free toolchain, so a machine can start small and grow without a rewrite.

    Is IMO programming software really license-free?

    Yes. IMO iSmart smart relays, i3 controllers and XGB PLCs carry no runtime license and no per-seat fee for the programming software. The customer's team learns one platform, which is the point.

    Do I need a UL 489 breaker or a supplementary protector?

    A UL 489 listed breaker is the branch-circuit protective device a panel inspector expects on each branch. A supplementary protector is not a substitute for a UL 489 breaker. IMO Automation miniature circuit breakers are UL 489 listed, with motor circuit breakers, RCBOs and surge protection in the same catalog.

    Does a variable speed drive need its own protection?

    Yes. Give the drive its own motor circuit breaker and room in the panel for the heat it dissipates. Look at what the drive does to power quality on the line. IMO Jaguar drives come in compact to heavy frames, and the breakers and contactors around the drive come from the same catalog.

    What does IMO make for DC and solar isolation?

    The SI Series TRUE DC isolator (UL 508, 8 million units installed since 2009) goes where a PV string or a DC feeder needs a disconnect you can see and lock. The SIM compact version is about a third smaller for the combiner. IMO mechanical disconnects cover the AC isolation beside the DC isolator.

    How are IMO parts bought?

    Dynamic is the manufacturer's rep in the territory. IMO parts are quoted and sold through the distributor you already buy from. IMO dispatches from US stock the same day.

    Who supports IMO in Northern California and Nevada?

    Dynamic Measurement and Control Solutions is the IMO Automation representative for Northern California and Northern Nevada. Bring us the sequence, the loads and the floor the machine runs on. An application engineer works the controller size, the drives, the protection and the operator interface through with you before the spec locks.
