PLC & IoT controllers
Programmable logic controller (PLC) is used to automate machines and processes. The PLC controls and automates local processes in industry.
IoT controllers collect data from networked sensors and devices and transmit it to the IoT network to enable remote networked monitoring and control.
PLC Controllers by Unitronics
All programmable logic controllers (PLC) of the model series Jazz, M91, Samba, Vision and UniStream follow the principle of PLC and HMI in one unit: all-in-one. Depending on the model, the displays vary from 2-line text displays in black/white to graphics-enabled 15" colour displays with a touch function. The programming environment and a comprehensive range of software tools are included in the scope of delivery of all controllers. Depending on the scope of tasks, they act as multifunction controllers in the process.
Entry-Level PLC
The Jazz, M91 und Samba PLC series are particularly suitable for small, manageable applications with typically 20 I/O channels at maximum. The PLC systems have all features of a "large" PLC, such as free programmability of the control logic and displays as well as full data remanence of all flags and registers.
Advanced-Level PLC
The Vision and UniStream PLC series are particularly suitable for medium-sized applications requiring I/O expandability, communication interfaces or comprehensive software functions. Connection of up to 1,000 I/O channels, Ethernet with web server, data logging with an SD card, several-megabyte memory for programmes, displays and process images are only some of the performance parameters.
Expansion Modules by Unitronics
Communication modules connect a PLC to other devices via Ethernet, RS-232/485, CANbus or PROFIBUS. I/O modules extend the number of I/O channels controlled by the PLC. If the I/O modules are connected externally, an adapter (EX-A2X or URB-TCP) is always required first, to which up to 8x remote or 63x Ethernet I/O modules can then be connected. Only the large-format Vision PLCs from 5" display upwards are equipped with 1x snap-in I/O module on the rear. For the modular 7", 10" or 15" UniStream PLC, the Uni-IO modules are used, which are either plugged directly onto the rear of the PLC or mounted on a remote DIN rail using the extension kits in the accessories (UAG-xxxx).
Automation Controller by ICPDAS
Automation controllers are small, local control systems with or without a user interface. They are usually programmed with programming languages such as C or C++.
Controller Modules
The compact Automation Controllers of the I-7188 and µPAC series are ideal for use in space-critical applications in the field of data acquisition, automation systems and remote control. With compact dimensions, built-in interfaces and E/A channels available or optional via XV daughterboard, the PACs are particularly suitable for small and simple "embedded applications". The more modern µPAC series differs from the proven I-7188 series by a higher hardware equipment with faster CPU, more memory and lower power consumption.
Expansions for Controller
The I-7188 and µPAC series support an I/O expansion bus. The controller expansion cards listed here expand the two series with I/O functions such as D/I, D/O, A/D, D/A, flash memory, UART, timer/counter and many more.
