flexibility and economy of Linux!

Transparent industrial Linux
The Linux operating system inside an IPm Controller or RTU will remain completely transparent to most users who will simply benefit from its powerful standard features. You don’t need to know what operating system is in the PLCs you use – the same is true for an IPm controller – you just use it. IPm controllers are completely configured using easy-to-use Windows Tools. Just take a look at the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit software.

This “transparent LINUX” hides inside the IPm controller and makes possible many of its advanced features, such as the many Ethernet capabilities. Many products you use in your home and office have embedded LINUX engines inside. If you are using a hardware firewall box on your computer, there is a good chance that there is LINUX inside – you just don’t see these details. The same is true for an IPm controller.

The transparent LINUX inside your IPm controller or RTU gives you the peace of mind of knowing that a special I/O driver or application program can be added should the need arise. The LINUX open-source core makes an IPm controller the world’s first truly open automation platform. Open systems avoid risks and insure future compatibility.

IPm Controllers & RTUs
run ISaGRAF. No LINUX
knowledge is needed.

Develop IPm applications in Windows
Even if you need to develop applications programs for an IPm controller, you still don’t need to know very much about LINUX. You don’t even need to have a computer that runs LINUX programs. You can write programs for an IPm controller and compile them on a Windows computer. The LINUX is embedded in the IPm controller, not necessarily on your desk. For more information, look at Writing IPm Applications and the IPm Application Development Kit.
