IC-2000 INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER MACHINE CONTROL
The IC-2000 control system provides independent “S” curve control of the acceleration and deceleration of the flier arm rotation.  This permits the flier arms to reach top winding speed faster without the risk of wire breakage when starting and stopping the wind.  Cycle time is also reduced by attaining peak flier speed faster and maintaining the maximum speed longer before decelerating to the stop position.
IC-2000 includes all the features of our earlier IC-10 controls, plus valuable enhancements that include: Intel Pentium â Processor with MMXTM Technology. Digital Signal Process (DSP) motion controller. SYNCHRONOUS PARALLEL PROCESSINGTM. Network capable through TCP/IP file transfer protocols using Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) or modem. Off-the-shelf industrial computer components. QNXâ operating system. PCMCIA flash drive.  VGA Touch Screen	The open architecture control system hardware consists of off-the-shelf industrial computer components with 32 megabytes of RAM and the CPU operating at 200 MHz. It uses the QNX operating system that provides real-time control with all the benefits of the well proven PC technology.  By design, the system is expandable, scalable and upgradable to keep pace with rapid PC developments.   All system and part parameter programs reside on fast PCMCIA flash drive cards, which contain no moving parts and are more reliable than rotating hard drives.
	DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR (DSP) motion controller provides coordinated control of the flyer and rotator servo axes and excellent “S” curve acceleration and deceleration control.  In addition, DSP permits overlapping of the sequence of events.  SYNCHRONOUS PARALLEL SEQUENCING reduces cycle time by overlapping event sequences such as winding and shield retract during hooking.  The following charts describe the 20% reduction in cycle time.
	COLOR VGA TOUCH SCREEN  The VGA Touch Screen provides graphical displays and labeled icons for ease of function selection.  Extensive help and on-line manuals use pictures and graphs to clarify and explain the functions or parameters. Touch buttons are located across the bottom of the touch screen.  The buttons are always displayed to easily reach menus without having to page through numerous screens.  In addition to English, local languages are provided as required.  Annunciating characters and simplified Chinese (available at a later date) are displayed on the screen.  The 10.4 inch (264mm) color touch screen is located in the operator control panel.  It is positioned on a movable pendant for the convenience of the operator, setup or maintenance personnel.

	NETWORKING INTEGRATION is an optional feature.  Ethernet IEEE 802.3 10MBPS, 10 base-2 (Coax) or 10 Base-T (Twisted Pair) using TCP/IP Protocol may be used for remote monitoring and/or integration with factory networks (Internets).  Also a modem may be added to provide additional network access.
