New high-density I/O modules for UniStream integrated PLC/HMI

Unitronics is launching two new high-density I/O models for its range of UniStream integrated PLC/HMI units. By enabling users to implement more I/O points in less space, these two new dense I/O models improve the flexibility of the UniStream platform and help users to reduce overall system costs. The new models offered are the UID-W1616T and UID-W1616R. The former includes 16 transistor, pnp or npn inputs and 16 pnp outputs, while the latter includes 16 relay, pnp or npn inputs and 16 outputs, both 24V DC.

The UniStream line is the result of over 20 years of experience with PLC development, together with Unitronics' ability to develop products that follow the latest trends in automation. UniStream devices feature powerful dual-CPU control hardware with sleek HMI touch panels, as well as a variety of I/O options. Users can create a customised all-in-one controller by snapping in the CPU and I/O modules to the HMI of their choice. The UniStream gives OEMs and systems integrators a competitive edge, enabling them to cut costs, save space and significantly lower programming time.

In concert with the launch of these two high-density I/O models, Unitronics is also launching a 15.6inch HMI panel for the UniStream series. With 7, 10.4 and now 15.6inch HMI panels, Unitronics believes it offers coverage for all major segments of the market. UniStream is claimed to provide programmers and machine builders with one of the best user experiences on the market today; the intuitive UniLogic studio software cuts programming time by 50 per cent by predicting the programmer's intentions and reusing written code. Programmers build a library of user-defined function blocks and HMI screens that can be imported into new projects or shared with other programmers. The software's predictive capabilities save a significant amount of time when defining I/O points, PIDs and other functions. Features like drag-and-drop, automatic line creation and re-use options for existing code make programming quick and easy.

UniStream integrated PLC/HMI units support RS485, CANopen, UniCAN and MODBUS (serial and Ethernet). Unistream can also adapt to third-party protocols; the USB and serial ports support external devices such as modems, printers and barcode readers.

Recently Unitronics released new features for UniStream, including a video player and new HMI widgets. Additionally, Unitronics has introduced a PDF Viewer that enables users to page through PDF files (such as manuals or standard operating procedures) on the UniStream HMI panel. Other features include attractive, polished-looking gauges, support for handy Find & Replace tags, and more.

As always, Unitronics provides all software and technical support FREE of charge.
