The IMP master (Indel Modular Peripherials) is a universal CPU board for use as a compact control system (without fieldbus), as a fieldbus master or as a fieldbus slave.

The IMP master is connected to up to 32 IMP modules (peripherals boards) via a plug connector. This allows the number of controlled axes and I/Os to be adapted to changing requirements at any time.

As the CPU board of a compact control system or as a fieldbus master, the IMP master executes customer-specific machine software on the basis of Indel’s INOS real-time operating system. It controls and coordinates all peripherals: analogue and digital inputs and outputs, axes, counters, customer electronics etc.

Where the IMP master is used as a fieldbus slave, it functions as a bus coupler with its own CPU for IMP modules. This processing power can be used for the pre-processing of signals or for running customer-specific algorithms.

Communication between the IMP master and a PC-based HMI is, depending on the product version, via either gigabit Ethernet or RS-232.
