• Performance is a central strength of the IVC1.
• Its optimised processor executes logic, timing, counting and sequencing instructions quickly, ensuring responsive machine behaviour even as programs grow in complexity.
• This speed, paired with a comprehensive instruction set, allows the controller to manage diverse discrete and simple analogue control tasks found in small and medium machinery, from packaging and textile equipment to material handling and general OEM applications.
• The result is smooth, dependable operation that helps maximise productivity and machine throughput.

A notable capability of the IVC1 is its support for high-speed counters and multi-axis pulse output for positioning. These features enable basic to intermediate motion control, allowing the PLC to coordinate stepper or pulse-controlled servo axes for tasks such as indexing, cutting to length, simple interpolation and synchronised movement. This makes the IVC1 well suited to machines that require precise, repeatable motion without the cost and complexity of a dedicated motion controller, broadening its applicability across automation segments.

• Communications flexibility ensures straightforward integration.
• The IVC1 provides RS-232 and RS-485 ports with Modbus support, allowing it to connect easily to HMIs, drives, servos, sensors, instruments and supervisory systems.
• This native connectivity simplifies data exchange and control coordination across the machine, reduces wiring and engineering effort, and enables the controller to participate in larger networked architectures.
• Its compatibility with INVT's own HMIs and drives is particularly valuable, streamlining commissioning and ensuring smooth interoperation within an all-INVT control system.

The IVC1 is offered with output options to match different load types, including relay and transistor variants (model dependent). Relay outputs suit contactors and slower loads, while transistor outputs support high-speed switching and the pulse-train signals needed for positioning. This choice, combined with the controller's compact dimensions and DIN-rail mounting, makes it easy to integrate into tight enclosures and to tailor the controller precisely to the machine's electrical and motion requirements.

Engineering is supported by INVT's PLC programming software, which provides an efficient environment for developing, simulating, downloading and maintaining control programs. A familiar ladder-logic workflow, together with INVT's growing ecosystem and support resources, helps teams develop machines quickly and maintain them confidently throughout their service life. The controller's reliability and compact design further contribute to a low total cost of ownership.

For buyers, the IVC1 offers an attractive entry into INVT automation, with the added advantage of seamless integration with INVT servo drives, VFDs and HMIs. This enables organisations to assemble complete, coordinated machine solutions from a single trusted brand, simplifying procurement, integration and after-sales support while keeping costs competitive.
