The ILC 2050 BI industrial Niagara controller offers I/O modularity, integrated security, and a flexible software-licensing model—ideal for demanding applications in buildings, infrastructure, and data centers. The integrated Niagara Framework® enables IIoT-based automation by standardizing multiple data types and simplifying connections to sensors and actuators across manufacturers and protocols.

Niagara for the Industrial Environment

Robust, high-speed control for demanding applications using the Niagara 4 Framework. Go beyond building automation with the ILC 2050 BI—industrially hardened control and modular I/O running Niagara 4.

In this video, Jordyn Dahlke covers the ILC 2050 BI, Phoenix Contact’s Niagara-based controller, and how it meets critical application requirements while keeping cabinet footprint to a minimum.

The powerful ILC 2050 BI controller is designed for automation tasks in buildings. With Inline I/O expansion, you can build a modular automation station for a wide range of building infrastructure applications—especially control/monitoring and energy management—while enabling Building IoT capabilities.

  • Easy programming with graphical control functions from a library of ready-to-use blocks
  • Support for major building infrastructure automation communication protocols
  • Live engineering capability without interrupting ongoing operation
  • Remote access for programming, monitoring, updates, and functional extensions
  • Secure operation with encryption, digital signaling, and role-based authentication

Integration

Niagara framework standardizes data to unify field protocols. Supports Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet MS/TP & IP, KNXnet/IP, and building protocols like DALI and M-Bus—plus IoT options such as MQTT and OPC UA.

Flexible Licensing

Start with 100 points in the base license and scale up to 10,000 points with extended licenses. Add drivers for additional protocols and choose maintenance (1, 3, or 5 years) for updates and new features.

Supervisor & Workbench

Centralize logging, alarms, scheduling, and visualization across multiple controllers. Supervisor also supports administration tasks like software rollouts, user/certificate management, and can execute control tasks via TCP/IP data.

Remote I/O

Inline I/O integrates into common industrial fieldbus systems and Ethernet networks.

Reduce Space

Use only the modules you need—reducing cost and cabinet footprint.

Robust

Strong signal isolation reduces system errors from wiring issues or faulty sensors.
