Why Choose the IMO I3AX12X/20B05-SEHF i3AX Intelligent Control Station?
The IMO I3AX12X/20B05-SEHF is a compact and versatile all-in-one PLC, HMI and I/O controller designed for industrial machinery, process control and automation systems. As part of the advanced IMO i3AX Intelligent Control Station series, it combines programmable logic control, operator interface, integrated I/O and industrial communications within a single unit, helping reduce panel space, wiring and overall system complexity.
This controller features a 2.2-inch 128 × 64 monochrome LCD display with addressable function keys, providing operators with convenient local machine control and status monitoring. Integrated Ethernet, CAN and dual RS-232 / RS-485 serial communications provide flexible connectivity with automation equipment, while MicroSD™ data storage and a real-time clock support data handling, logging and time-based automation functions.
With 24 digital inputs, 16 DC digital outputs and 2 12-bit analogue inputs, the I3AX12X/20B05-SEHF provides a high onboard I/O count for compact machine control applications. It also supports 4 high-speed counters, making it suitable for applications involving encoders, pulse signals and other high-speed machine inputs, while its 10–30 V DC supply is compatible with common industrial control power systems.

High I/O Density for Industrial Machine Control
All-in-one controllers such as the IMO i3AX combine functions traditionally provided by separate PLC, operator interface and I/O devices. Integrating these functions within one control station can reduce component count, simplify machine wiring and provide operators with direct access to machine status, process information and control functions.
The I3AX12X/20B05-SEHF is particularly suitable for machines requiring a relatively large number of discrete control points. Its 24 digital inputs and 16 DC outputs provide direct connectivity for numerous sensors and actuators, while the two analogue inputs allow compatible process signals to be monitored. Ethernet, CAN and serial communications further extend integration possibilities with drives, remote I/O and other industrial automation equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine control systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- High I/O count machine control applications.
- Encoder and pulse counting applications.
- Pumps, fans and process equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial control panels.
- Remote I/O and networked automation systems.
