Modular control platform
14 Oct 2013
Unitronics has announced the launch of its latest range of control products designed as an all-in-one, modular control platform.
The UniStream systems offers users a combination of dual CPUs (faster scan time, up to 2048 I/Os over 2MB of operand memory), a variety of HMI touch panels and local and remote I/O installation.
UniStream can be tailored to almost any application. Users simply select their preferred HMI, snap on a CPU, and then snap on preferred I/Os to create an all-in-one controller.
This enables users to select devices in the exact configuration that suits their precise application requirements.
UniStream supports RS485, CANopen, UniCAN, both serial and Ethernet MODBUS.
The platform can also adapt to third-party protocols; USB hosts and serial ports support external devices such as modems, printers, barcode readers and more. USB Device also allows users to download their programs over USB.
UniLogic studio software is designed to cut programming time by 50% by anticipating the programmer’s intentions and by enabling the re-use of written code.
It allows the programmer to build a library of user defined function blocks and HMI screens that can be imported into any new project and even shared with others.
The drag and drop, automatic line creation and re-use options of existing code are capable of making programming quick and easy.
Unitronics has also introduced a paradigm change in the form of UniApps. The UniApps are an expanding library of value added PLC embedded apps. The UniApps give users the ability to reach data, edit it, monitor, troubleshoot and debug their system.
Additionally, the Unistream platform can be accessed remotely, through PCs, tablets and smartphones.
