UniStream 5-in. compact and connected PLC+HMI+I/Os from Unitronics

September 22, 2017 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Unitronics’ newly-released 5-in. UniStream is a multifunction programmable logic controller in a compact hardware profile to include a PLC+HMI+I/O built in a single unit.

The all-in-one compact PLC+HMI with built-in I/Os fills a niche in the programmable controller market — serving OEMs and system integrators who need space-saving controllers delivering the functionality to control complex machines …

… even while creating a competitive advantage with a color touch HMI panel.

This all-in-one controller is available in two series: UniStream 5-in. and UniStream 5-in. Pro. Both series support SNMP, VNC, FTP, SMS, email, and communications via GSM/GPRS modem. The Pro version also offers a built-in Webserver, audio jack, and video support, as well as SQL, a plus for system integrators and OEMs facing Industry 4.0.

UniStream 5-in. hardware has a resistive color touchscreen that reduces space and wiring requirements, and eliminates the need to set up Panel-PLC communication.

Built-in I/O configurations vary according to model, offering digital, analog, high-speed and temperature I/Os. Users can expand the configuration up to 2,048 I/O points.

Built-in COM ports include Ethernet, 1 USB host and 1 Mini-B USB device ports; additional add-on ports for serial and CANbus are available.

Powerful programming for PLC and HMI functions

The rich feature range of UniStream includes autotuned PID, data logging, data tables and Recipes, data sampling displayed via built-in Trends and Gauges, Alarms, multi-level passwords, and plug-and-play communications for CANopen, CAN Layer2, MODBUS, EtherNet/IP, and more.

A Re-Use paradigm enables the programmer to build Ladder and C functions, design HMI screens, and create Web pages in multiple languages including Asian languages—then save it all in a Library to reuse in other projects.

Another benefit to the bottom line for the OEM and system integrators is Unitronics standard policy of customer care (with no hidden costs or tiers). All software, utilities, and support including membership in Unitronics’ Community Forum are provided at no additional charge.

Unitronics designs, manufactures, and markets quality PLCs for the global market. Easy -to-use, efficient, and affordable, the products have been automating processes, systems, and stand-alone applications since 1989. We maintain more than 160 distributors in over 55 countries around the globe, enabling the customers to purchase the products with local marketing support.

Unitronics’ field-proven PLCs automate hundreds of thousands of installations in diverse fields: petrochemical, automotive, food processing, plastic & textile, energy & environment, water & waste water management—anywhere automated processes are required.

Unitronics’ programmable controllers have been honored by Frost & Sullivan’s 2016 Product Line Strategy Leadership Award, and have received numerous trade awards. For more information, visit www.unitronics.com.
