The Innotech Maxim II Controller is a state of the art digital processing system that has the capability of controlling various types of commercial systems. The Maxim II can operate as a standalone device, using its own universal inputs and analogue and digital outputs to receive information and control external equipment, or as part of a network of Innotech devices that support Global Net Comms.
The Maxim II's configuration program is developed on a computer using a Windows® based program. This allows the user to configure the internal processes of the Maxim II by using a graphical programming tool. The user places various process blocks and interconnecting lines to design the required control algorithm for the system.
A connector on the bottom right side of the case provides an RS485 serial link to the computer via a 485/232 converter for downloading the configuration program. This link may also be used to upload logged data or the program back out of the controller for modification or debugging purposes.

Applications
Innotech Maxim II Controllers are designed for mounting inside a control cubicle. The Maxim II offers a variety of inputs and outputs enabling it to monitor and control all types of external plant and equipment. Although the Maxim II is flexible, it is primarily designed for the air conditioning and building automation industry.
The small size of the Maxim II also gives it the advantage of being fitted in small places without taking up valuable switchboard real-estate.
The Maxim II provides all the features of a stand-alone Maxim I but with many additional features.
The creation of control strategies is made simple by the use of the Maxim Config configuration utility - MAXCon. This utility, with its powerful Graphical User Interface, allows the user to create an entire control strategy in block-diagram form.
Typical applications include:
- Air conditioning and heating systems
- Lighting control
- Time clock controller
- Monitoring device
- Distributed I/O points controller
- Cold/Freezer Rooms
