IMC-100S Intelligent Motor Controller (120VAC) 

(IMC-100S 220VAC)

The  Intelligent Motor Controller IMC-100S™ is a state-of-the art device designed to control AC motors such as those used in drapery or curtain applications. Its incredibly small size enables the unit to be positioned within the drapery headrail assembly or even a standard J-Box. A built-in microprocessor allows multi-stop capability (closed, half-open and open for instance) in addition to enabling the system to be controlled from any home automation system. Unique to the IMC-100S™  is its communication and control advantages. The IMC-100S™  implements communication standards adopted by the computer industry (rather than proprietary standards) that allow for up to 65,025 distinct IMC controllers to be interconnected and controlled from virtually any distance (up to 4000 feet) using an inexpensive, low-voltage communication bus (using standard CAT5 or CAT3 wiring)!

The IMC-100S™ System is typically deployed in residential or commercial locations to control vertical or horizontal draperies and blinds. A breakthrough in technology allows a much simpler wiring topology to be used (daisy-chain versus home-runs for each device) thereby eliminating the time and expense of more-costly dedicated home runs of low and sometimes high-voltage wiring often required by competitive systems. In fact even the largest system can be installed without repeaters or separate zone-type limitations.

This is the favored choice among vendors already experienced with “intelligent” drapery controllers. The ability to control a system using whatever means the homeowner desires is often a challenge. The IMC-100S™ allows control from as simple a device as a wall keypad, to more flexible devices including IR remotes, wireless (RF), Internet Protocol (IP) and standard wall keypad devices, as well as more common low-voltage and dry–type switched contacts.
