Unitronics — in an effort to satisfy market needs and customer requests — now offer several new I/O configurations to both Samba and Jazz lines of all-in-one PLC+HMI controllers. These lines are self-contained, non-expanded PLCs with onboard I/O and integrated HMI perfect for powerful control for small applications …
… the new I/O configurations offer increased flexibility with the same great price/performance ratio.
The award-winning Samba line of PLC + color-touch HMI now offers two models with analog outputs, with either a 3.5 or 4.3-inch screen. Models SM35-J-RA22 & SM43-J-RA22 both offer:
- 12 digital inputs
2 may be configured as analog, 2as PT100/TC, and 1 as HSC/shaft-encoder input - 2 analog, inputs
- 8 relay outputs
- 2 analog outputs
The Jazz series, a low-cost solution for projects requiring a PLC and a text-only HMI panel, now offers two new models with high-speed I/O. As members of the Jazz 2 family, both support the Ethernet Add-on module, enabling you to implement both MODBUS/TCP and PC-PLC communications.
These JZ20-J-T20HS offers:
- 6 digital inputs including 3 high-speed inputs (HSC/shaft-encoder)
- 2 analog/digital inputs
- 2 analog inputs
- 10 transistor outputs including 3 high speed outputs (2 high speed outputs @ 32 kHz or 3 high speed outputs @ 3 kHz)
These outputs support PWM via hardware configuration, with no special functions required.
The JZ20-J-R16HS offers:
- 6 digital inputs including 3 high-speed inputs (HSC/shaft-encoder)
- 2 analog/digital inputs
- 2 analog inputs
- 6 relay outputs
Produced by Unitronics, a global developer and manufacturer of PLC + HMI controllers, all products are backed by Unitronics standard policy of customer care, including software and utilities, membership in an active, moderated technical support forum, and personalized technical support—all at no additional cost. This combines with all the functionality system integrators need for small applications, reduces space and wiring requirements, and eliminates the need to set up Panel-PLC communication —everything you need to benefit from the best price-performance ratio in the industry.
About Samba industrial PLC+HMI controllers
Samba fills a growing niche—OEMs on a tight budget who need compact controllers for simple machine control, but still want the competitive advantage of an elegant, color-touch HMI panel. Awarded the prestigious Engineer’s Choice Award by Control engineering, Samba is available with screen dimensions of 3.5, 4.3, and 7 in.
All models offer a beautiful HMI 16-bit touchscreen that enables data entry and display of variable data on user-designed screens, as well as color Trend graphs, and built-in Alarm screens. The integrated PLC offers a broad range of features including 2 auto-tuned PID loops, time-based RTC control, data logging, recipes and more.
Onboard I/Os offer digital, analog, and high-speed functionality.
The flat fascia and IP66/IP65/NEMA4X rating makes Samba an excellent fit for the food and pharmaceutical industries, anywhere spray or wipe down requirements apply. All Samba units come supplied with a programming port (USB for 4.3” and 7 “, RS232 for 3.5”). Additional ports can be added: RS485 or Ethernet, and CANbus port. Samba supports GPRS/GSM, email and SMS, as well as industrial TCP/IP protocols, MODBUS, DF1 slave, CANopen, and J1939; it can also be adapted to any third-party protocol.
Samba uses Unitronics’ free VisiLogic software. Visilogic provides a single, simple environment for hardware and communications configuration, Ladder application development, and HMI design, including a free library of industrial images. Free utilities include remote PC access and data export. Unitronics offers unlimited technical support for all of their products and supports an active user forum.
About the Jazz 20 PLC + HMI
Jazz is the PLC + HMI that replaces a simple “Smart Relay” with a real PLC—for the same low price.
Jazz series controllers are full-function PLC + text HMI with onboard I/Os—available in configurations including digital, analog, temperature, and high-speed I/Os. Specifically designed to control small machines, and to perform simple-to-medium automation tasks, Jazz enables you to use a low-budget unit without compromising on features and technology.
Jazz offers the flexibility of Ladder programming plus communication options such as GSM/SMS, Remote Access, and MODBUS networking. The HMI application enables you to design up to 60 text screens, using up to 64 HMI variables for the display of time, date, and real-time system data. Programming is as easy as it gets—build Ladder Logic control applications using click-and-drop elements…and create your HMI application in the same U90 Ladder software environment, included at no extra cost.
