IG21

Industrial Controller

Samsara’s IG Series Industrial Controllers provide a modern platform that combines data collection, control, alerts, and analytics in an easy to deploy and easy to use system - from the plant floor to remote sites. Managed by Samsara’s secure cloud dashboard, the IG Series combines the capabilities of a programmable logic controller (PLC) or remote terminal unit (RTU) with a 4G LTE cellular gateway into a single device designed to meet the harsh demands of water/wastewater, oil and gas, and industrial environments.

Faster, Easier, and Cheaper to Deploy

Integrated platform means that whether you are connecting critical equipment on the shop floor, or hundreds of remote locations, simply connect your IOs and gain immediate visibility on your browser or mobile device. No servers to set up, no software to manage, no complexity.

Operational Data at Your Fingertips

View critical data in Samsara’s cloud dashboard, easily export to analytics tool of your choice, or directly integrate with your existing historian through modern API functionality. Samsara makes getting your data easy, and lets you manipulate it to get the most out of it.

Real-Time Visibility and Alerts

Samsara’s cloud dashboard acts as historian and HMI to provide immediate visibility into real time and historical data, and allows for simple, easy to manage alerts. Cloud infrastructure allows infinite scalability without any infrastructure investment, and on device storage means data is captured even if network connection is down.

Easily View and Deploy Program Code

Modern IEC 61131-3 programming environment allows engineers to reuse code and audit program execution - all without going onsite. Samsara’s central visibility dramatically increases the speed at which industry standard IEC 6113103 programs can be written and deployed across any number of locations.

Always up to date with the most secure software and firmware

Unlike legacy solutions that require manual updates and patches over time, Samsara is purpose-built to operate securely as cyber threats continuously evolve. Automatic over-the-air updates ensure that your devices are always up to date with the latest and most secure software and firmware, with little to no downtime required.
