Integrated Control Sensor Input Device (IC-IN)
The IC-IN Sensor Input Device is part of the IC CONNECT™ product line
providing the ability to bring external sensor data into the Central Control
software. This includes any sensors with the following output types: 4-20mA,
0-10 VDC, static or pulse output. For additional details please reference the
IC-IN Manual.
Integrated Control Output Device (IC-OUT)
The IC-OUT Output Device allows for control of external devices including but
not limited to fans, fountains, aerators, gates, fuel systems, lighting systems,
etc. Control of external equipment is accomplished through use of a DC
Latching Relay giving great flexibility on the application. For additional details
please reference the IC-OUT Manual.
IFX Board
The IFX board is used to upgrade older satellites, providing IFX hybrid capabilities to the PAR+, MSC+ and
PAR+ES satellites for communication along the IC System MAXI wire path. This allows control of both IC
rotors and satellite controllers on the same wire path, creating flexibility during a phased renovation, or
if a customer is looking for expansion opportunities within an existing Rain Bird satellite system. IFX boards
come standard in current production PAR+ES satellites (since February 2020).
Note: IFX Hybrid systems require upgrading
from a MIM to an ICI+.
