Unitronics has introduced its latest palm-sized PLC controller with built-in touchscreen and I/O.
System integrators and OEMs often develop applications that require PLC control, but that settle on simple text displays due to limited budget.
To combat this issue, Unitronics has specifically developed the Samba is an all-in-one, palm-sized controller.
The HMI 3.5” QVGA 16-bit touchscreen enables data entry and display of variable data, including colour trend graphs and alarm screens.
Meanwhile, Samba also supports 24 user-designed screens, and up to 40 images per application.
The integrated PLC controller offers a broad range of features including two auto-tuned PID loops, time-based RTC control, data-logging, recipes and more.
Internal memory holds 0.5 MB of application logic, plus 512K for fonts and 0.5 MB for images. Onboard I/Os offer digital, analogue, and high-speed functionality.
The flat fascia and IP66/IP65/NEMA4X rating makes Samba a good fit for the food & pharmaceutical industries - ideal wherever spray and wipe down requirements apply.
Samba offers a built-in RS232 port. Users can add an additional RS485 serial, Ethernet, or CANbus port.
The system also supports GPRS/GSM, email, SMS, as well as industrial TCP/IP protocols, MODBUS, DF1 slave, CANopen, J1939 and more—and it may be adapted to any 3rd-party protocol.
Unitronics’ free VisiLogic software 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 support remote PC access and data export.
Samba offers all the functionality system integrators need for small applications, reduces space requirements, wiring, and eliminates the need to set up Panel-PLC communication—resulting in an excellent price/performance ratio.
