Unitronics’ all-in-one PLC + HMI lines offer control functionality for any size machine, application, or retrofit, from the simple to the complex. With auto-tuned PID, datalogging and recipes, broad communication support that includes the ability to communicate in any 3rd-party proprietary protocol, and a wide range of integrated HMI panels, Vision® & Samba® controller lines can match any requirement—cost-effectively.
All models can be remotely, securely accessed via Unitronics’ utilities for programming and troubleshooting, making them suitable for installation in the most remote locations.
In addition, it is easy to integrate these controllers into UniCloud, Unitronics’ do-it-yourself, no-code IIoT Cloud platform designed for OEMs and machine builders, via UCR routers.
