Industrial Controllers for PLC’s, DCS’s, CNC’s or Robotics just do not have the features you require to support the value to differentiate your solution…
CATIM is releasing to market an industrial controller with all the usual legacy features and fieldbus types and then adding features to zoom the Nimbus from the future right into now…
The Applications…Nimbus is the DIN controller that can be used standalone as an OEM customizable solution or supported by our CATIMi platform that is trendsetting for application use. We engineer away at complexity to bring you creativity & elegance making it your own.

The future of automation starts here…

The Nimbus platform transcends the barriers to smart process applications with features that are enabled by an unfair advantage mindset…design an automation solution on a clean slate using new technologies to solve tomorrow’s problems using Web 3.0 topologies
The Nimbus is available as a pre-configured & ready to use CATIM solution such as solar battery chargers or alternatively engineers can develop their own sophisticated custom applications with minimal effort & knowledge using the CATIMi application builder. The platform also support IEEE 61131-3 or other popular development tools.
The Nimbus solution is the intelligent process automation tool of the future available now to solve tomorrow’s problems…
Nimbus platform overview

What is the Nimbus?
The Nimbus controller is featured in a PLC role (programmable logic controller) as seen in the picture above and on the left bottom is part of a scalable solution platform and typically integrated into diverse automation control solutions. The above-pictured building management is just one of the possible application examples and more are detailed on the applications tab in this section.Â
The solution is currently in field trials and will be released to the market in 2022.
Which problems does the Nimbus platform solve?
It’s a fact that exciting new applications are now opening up for engineers that need to solve more complex problems faster with higher maintainability, using diverse skills/knowledge levels.
The CATIM Nimbus solution integrates features that have typically been uncommon to PLC such as machine vision, AI, analytics, IIoT solar / battery management and enabling engineers to rapidly achieve their goals. Engineers will be able to start developments from the ground up in several popular engineering software platforms or utilise the CATIMi application generator to produce a sophisticated application within minutes.
The power distribution panel above is an ongoing CATIM project for Eco Village houses that incorporates your ordinary power panel in any house however as we embedded the Nimbus PLC with amazing smarts to control every facet of the house, it has been one of the most exciting projects as we create a market fit for the Nimbus.
CATIM designed & manufactured the Nimbus platform right here in Australia to offer a solution that adheres to the latest best-known security principles complemented by a powerful system architecture.
Nimbus unlike any other?
The Nimbus solution has shoe-fit synergy for any legacy or future process applications.
The Nimbus DIN rail product featured here is supported by the CATIMi workflow & analytical framework both standalone or networked with other typical industry blocks such as cloud, IIoT, other PLC etc.Â
Options with an integrated solar/storage power supply up to 5kW 48v suitable for DC Microgrids or Robotics will be included.
The Nimbus also features the new SPE 2-wire ethernet to sensor/actuator communication to sensors that will revolutionise the industry as we know it – (See CATIM SPE blog post here)
Who will use the Nimbus product platform?
The Nimbus solution is equipped to enable engineers of all experience levels to solve complex process problems with legacy & future project challenges. CATIMi supports the controller with defacto application development platforms such as Codesys here for diverse application types such as PLC, CNC & Robotics.
All eight of the CATIM technology pillars are embraced by the Nimbus platform as detailed on the following page:Â https://catim.co/applications/
The Nimbus solution is also distributed to OEMs, Manufacturers, Contractors and Consultants that use the platform to solve their own unique problems.Â
What are the Nimbus applications
The Nimbus controller is typically integrated into industrial control solutions that are the hearts of:
- (PLC) programmable logic controller  and control (machine automation) – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- (SCADA) Supervisory control and data acquisition
- (MES) Manufacturing execution system, including part traceability, machine monitoring and machine management, recipes, etc
- (ERP) Enterprise resource planning, which includes: (AP/AR, raw materials, purchase orders, inventory, scheduling and tracking)
- Traffic lights
- Robotics – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- Factory automation – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- Process plant – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- Mining & plant equipment
- Building management – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- AI / ML / AR / MV applications – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- Process automation that has large quantities of sensors on a SPE bus – (see CATIM blog(s) for examples)
- Any smart process automation application – (see CATIM searched items for examples)
The Nimbus DIN product above is part of the Nimbus platform that includes several other technologies such as CATIMi A.I. and more.
