After a successful Smart Buildings Show at Olympia in October, we had a number of questions asking how to integrate further IO modules into the ILC 2050 BI Controller for different functions. Deepan has created this video to show how to do this.

The ILC 2050 BI controller from Phoenix Contact runs the Niagara Framework software and we have many IO modules you can choose from that offer a small footprint, enabling you to achieve a lot in a small space. This was one key factor which grabbed the attention of the visitors to our stand.

One of our more popular products is the 4 channel CBMC electronic circuit breaker. Each channel can be individually set up to a maximum of 10A to protect the connected loads.
