Unitronics pays close attention to market needs and customer feedback to develop new products. This dedication has led us to add several new I/O configurations to both our Samba and Jazz lines of all-in-one PLC+HMI controller. These lines are self-contained, non-expanded PLCs with onboard I/O and integrated HMI perfect for powerful control for small applications; the new I/O configurations offer increased flexibility with the same great price/performance ratio.

The award-winning Samba line of PLC + color-touch HMI now offers two models with analog outputs, with either a 3.5 or 4.3-inch screen. Models SM35-J-RA22 & SM43-J-RA22 both offer:

  • 12 digital inputs
  • 2 may be configured as analog, 2as PT100/TC, and 1 as HSC/shaft-encoder input
  • 2 analog, inputs
  • 8 relay outputs
  • 2 analog outputs

The Jazz series, a low-cost solution for projects requiring a PLC and a text-only HMI panel, now offers two new models with high-speed I/O. As members of the Jazz 2 family, both support the Ethernet Add-on module, enabling you to implement both MODBUS/TCP and PC-PLC communications.

These JZ20-J-T20HS offers:

  • 6 digital inputs including 3 high-speed inputs (HSC/shaft-encoder)
  • 2 analog/digital inputs
  • 2 analog inputs
  • 10 transistor outputs including 3 high speed outputs (2 high speed outputs @ 32kHz or 3 high speed outputs @ 3kHz)

These outputs support PWM via hardware configuration, with no special functions required.

The JZ20-J-R16HS offers:

  • 6 digital inputs including 3 high-speed inputs (HSC/shaft-encoder)
  • 2 analog/digital inputs
  • 2 analog inputs
  • 6 relay outputs

Produced by Unitronics, a global developer and manufacturer of PLC + HMI controllers, all products are backed by Unitronics standard policy of customer care, including software and utilities, membership in an active, moderated technical support forum, and personalized technical support—all at no additional cost. This combines with all the functionality system integrators need for small applications, reduces space and wiring requirements, and eliminates the need to set up Panel-PLC communication —everything you need to benefit from the best price-performance ratio in the industry.
