The Problem

Why do you need a ready-made SCADA station?

🏭

Expensive HMI panels

Siemens, Beckhoff and Advantech HMI panels cost thousands of pounds and require expensive licensed software.

🔌

Lack of COM ports

Standard computers do not have RS232/RS485 serial ports for PLC connection. Expensive USB converters are required.

🌡️

Fans + dust = breakdown

Ordinary PCs overheat and shut down in hot and dusty industrial environments.

💰

Annual licences

Wonderware, Ignition and other SCADA systems require annual licences costing thousands of pounds.

The Solution?

IWILL IBOX-3026 + RapidSCADA/ScadaBR = a professional SCADA station at the price of an ordinary computer. No annual licences. With 6x COM ports for direct PLC connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The IBOX-3026 has 6x COM ports (RS232/RS485) which allow direct serial connection to PLC controllers from Siemens S7-200/300, Allen-Bradley MicroLogix, Schneider Modicon and all Modbus RTU devices. No additional converter is required.

RapidSCADA is an open-source SCADA system with full functionality: real-time monitoring, alarm system, trends and historical data. The licence is free and does not require annual fees. It supports Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC UA and numerous other protocols.

Via COM ports: Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, PROFIBUS, BACnet MS/TP. Via Ethernet: Modbus TCP, OPC UA, BACnet/IP, MQTT. RapidSCADA and ScadaBR support all these protocols through built-in drivers.

Yes. The fanless design and operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C make the IBOX-3026 ideal for continuous operation in industrial environments. The aluminium enclosure serves as a passive heatsink, and the Phoenix connector for power supply ensures a reliable connection under vibration.

With 6x COM ports you can connect 6 separate RS485 buses. Each RS485 bus supports up to 32 devices (or up to 256 with repeaters). Additionally, via the two Gigabit LAN ports you can connect Modbus TCP devices without limitation.

2 years hardware warranty with local service in the UK. The SCADA software (RapidSCADA/ScadaBR) is open-source and is maintained by the respective communities.

Yes. RapidSCADA supports OPC UA client and server. You can connect the IBOX-3026 to other SCADA systems and MES/ERP platforms via the standard OPC UA protocol.

Yes, the IBOX-3026 supports Windows 10/11 and Linux for standard use. This page is focused on the SCADA/HMI application. With the Intel i7-1165G7 and 32GB RAM, the machine is fully capable of any task.
