Unitronics recently launched a new I/O module, offering a variety of I/O options in a single unit. The new module, UIS-WCB2, is compatible with all UniStream series Programmable Logic Controllers; the module can either be snapped to the back of a UniStream HMI panel or installed on a DIN rail using a local expansion adapter

The UIS-WCB2 has 10 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 thermocouple inputs, 8 relay outputs, 10 transistor outputs and 2 analog outputs. The UniStream line is the result of over 20 years of experience with PLC development, combined with the strongest new trends in automation. Unistream incorporates a powerful dual CPU, sleek HMI touch panels, and a variety of I/O options. The user can create an all-in-one controller by snapping on a CPU and I/O modules to the HMI of their choice. The award-winning UniStream gives OEMs and systems integrators a competitive edge, enabling them to customize their PLC, cut costs and shorten their programming time by over 50%.

UniStream offers options for RS485, CANopen, UniCAN, and both serial and Ethernet MODBUScommunications. Unistream supports Ethernet/IP and can be adapted to other third-party protocols; the USB and serial ports support external devices such as modems, printers, barcode readers and more.

UniLogic, the software for Unitronics’ UniStream line enables users to code Ladder, design HMI screens and Web pages, configure hardware, set up and implement communications, and more in a single programming environment. UniLogic’s efficient features can slash your development time by over 50%.

Unitronics is a pioneer in the manufacturing and design of PLCs with integrated HMI and on-board I/Os – rugged PLC product lines that meet a diverse range of requirements. Program your entire application in a single, intuitive software environment, and benefit from best-of-breed technical support, both provided at no extra cost.
