New analogue input module for combined PLC and HMI
Unitronics is introducing a new I/O module with eight analogue inputs fro use with the company's UniStream modular HMI and PLC controller. The new I/O module can be snapped onto the back of a UniStream controller panel or, alternatively, can be located further away as part of a remote I/O configuration.
UniStream controller/display units are designed by Unitronics to be completely modular. The user creates an all-in-one controller by selecting an elegant HMI touch-panel of 7inch, 10.4inch or 15.6inch size to suit the application, and then clips on the CPU and the I/O modules required. This gives machine builders and system integrators a customised controller that exactly matches the application's needs while cutting costs by saving space and wiring.
Supporting the new analogue input module is the most recently released version of UniLogic, the all-in-one development environment for hardware configuration and HMI and PLC Ladder programs.
UniLogic version 1.12.20 brings a number of new features that boost application power, such as displaying streaming video via a network camera using the RTSP Real Time Streaming Protocol, and SNMP v1/v2/v3 support (Simple Network Management Protocol).
Webserver and networking protocols
UniStream units support RS485, CANopen, SNMP, UniCAN, and MODBUS (serial and Ethernet). Furthermore, UniStream can also adapt to third-party protocols; the USB and serial ports support external devices such as modems, printers, barcode readers and more.
UniStream is a fine example of the Unitronics all-in-one concept: PLC and HMI in one unit, plus free personalised technical support and a unified, free programming environment, all in a single, convenient, customer-friendly package.
