ICP DAS supplier in Romania
Distributed I/O modules and data acquisition for automation
Founded in 1993
Who is ICP DAS and what does it make?
ICP DAS is a Taiwanese manufacturer of industrial automation and data acquisition equipment, active since 1993. The company designs distributed I/O modules, programmable automation controllers (PAC) and data acquisition boards, intended for system integrators and automation designers who need measurement or control points spread across an installation. From the ICP DAS range we can quote remote input/output modules, industrial controllers, HMI panels and communication converters, mounted in electrical panels or directly next to the machine.
The strength of ICP DAS is its wide protocol coverage: I/O modules available with RS-485, Ethernet, USB, fieldbus and wireless interfaces, plus dedicated converters between these protocols, useful for extending an existing industrial network without replacing it completely. The PAC controllers come in Windows, Linux, WinCE, MiniOS7 or ROM-DOS versions, chosen according to the integrator's development environment and the reliability requirements of the application.
For the Romanian market, ICP DAS modules are useful to integrators who need distributed, robust I/O points without a full PLC at every station. We recommend them for extending SCADA systems, remote monitoring and smart building or smart factory projects.
What do we supply from the ICP DAS range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Distributed I/O Modules | Remote input/output modules for digital and analogue signals, available with RS-485, Ethernet, USB or wireless communication, plus fieldbus modules for integration into existing networks. Mounted directly next to the sensor or actuator, they reduce the cable length to the central panel and allow an automation system to be extended gradually without changing the architecture. Useful for collecting data from machines spread across a hall or an industrial platform. |
| PAC Programmable Controllers | Programmable automation controllers, available in Windows, Linux, WinCE, MiniOS7 or ROM-DOS versions, including AI Box PAC models for applications with local data processing. They run control logic, network communication and, on the AI Box models, analysis algorithms directly on the device. The choice of operating system depends on the integrator's preferred software development environment and the availability requirements of the application. |
| Industrial Panel PCs and HMIs | Industrial operator panels (Industrial Panel PC, ViewPAC, touch panel) for local visualisation and control on the production line, without the need for a separate computer. They integrate with the I/O modules and PAC controllers from the same range, using the same communication protocols, which simplifies the design of a complete ICP DAS system from the sensor to the operator screen. |
| Industrial Communication Converters | Converters between serial protocols, Ethernet, fieldbus and USB, useful for interconnecting older equipment (RS-485, RS-232) with a modern Ethernet network. They allow an installation to be extended without replacing equipment already mounted. |
| Energy Management Systems | Power meters and data concentrators for monitoring electricity consumption at panel level, with transmission to a central system via the same protocols as the rest of the range. Useful in energy efficiency projects where consumption is tracked separately by section. |
Why ICP DAS?
- I/O modules available on RS-485, Ethernet, USB, fieldbus and wireless, easy to integrate into existing networks
- PAC controllers on five operating systems (Windows, Linux, WinCE, MiniOS7, ROM-DOS), chosen according to project needs
- Industrial panel PCs and HMIs from the same range, for local visualisation without additional equipment
- Power meters and data concentrators, which can be integrated into the same SCADA system as the I/O modules

How do we supply ICP DAS in Romania?
We work from the technical documentation of the Taiwanese manufacturer and state clearly what we confirm before sending a quotation for ICP DAS modules. We supply the equipment made to order through supply channels in the European Union, usually within 1–4 weeks of order confirmation. For a correct quotation we need the exact code of the module or controller, the communication protocol used in the installation and, where relevant, the operating system your application runs on. We do not promise permanent availability from stock for any reference in the range — we check real availability on every request received.
ICP DAS software configuration (ISaGRAF, Win-GRAF) is carried out with the system integrator.
Frequently asked questions about ICP DAS
What is the difference between the ICP DAS Windows PACs and Linux PACs series?
Windows PACs run a full or reduced Windows operating system, suitable where software applications compatible with this environment are already in use. Linux PACs offer a Linux-based operating system, often preferred for long-term stability and low resource consumption in continuous automation. The choice depends on the existing software applications and the technical team's preference for the operating environment.
Do you supply ICP DAS I/O modules in Romania made to order?
Yes, we supply, made to order, distributed input/output modules, programmable controllers and HMI panels from the ICP DAS portfolio, based on the exact code requested. We do not keep this range on the shelf; made to order, usually 1–4 weeks from order confirmation. It is useful to specify the network type used, RS-485, Ethernet or fieldbus, for correct compatibility.
What should I send for a quotation on an ICP DAS module?
The number and type of input or output channels, digital or analogue, are needed, as well as the communication protocol already used in the automation. If the module replaces existing equipment, the full code helps identify the current equivalent version in the catalogue. Mentioning the installation environment, with vibration or extreme temperatures, influences the choice of a suitable housing.
What is the ViewPAC family from ICP DAS?
ViewPAC is a family of HMI panels with an integrated programmable controller function, developed by ICP DAS for applications where the display and the control logic must be combined in a single device. It reduces the number of devices mounted in the panel and simplifies the wiring diagram of the installation. It is frequently used on production lines and local process monitoring systems.
How do I request a ICP DAS quotation?
Send the ICP DAS code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
