Unitronics UniStream panel PC platform

The Unitronics UniStream platform is a line HMI touch panel PCs with a combination of powerful dual CPUs (faster scan time, up to 2048 I/Os over 2 MB of operand memory), a variety of HMI touch panels, and easier local and remote I/O installation.

UniStream can be tailored to the application - users 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.

UniLogic studio software, the programming environment for hardware configuration, control and HMI, is claimed 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 software’s wizards save significant time on definitions of I/O points, PIDs, etc. The drag-and-drop, automatic line creation and re-use options of existing code make programming quick and easy.

The platform supports RS485, CANopen, UniCAN and 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 and barcode readers.

Unitronics has also introduced UniApps - an expanding library of value-added PLC embedded apps. The apps give users the ability to reach data, edit it, monitor, troubleshoot and debug their system. The platform can also be accessed remotely via VNC.
