Description

Unitronics UniStream platform comprises control devices that provide robust, flexible solutions for industrial automation.This guide provides basic installation information for the UniStream HMI Panel.Technical specifications may be downloaded from the Unitronics website. The UniStream platform comprises CPU controllers, HMI panels, and local I/O modules that snap together to form an all-in-one Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).Expand the I/O configuration using a Local Expansion Kit or remotely via CANbus.

CPU-for-Panel

CPUs are Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), the heart of the UniStream platform. The CPU-for-Panel cannot operate independently. It must be plugged into the back of a UniStream? HMI panel. The panel provides the CPUs power source. The CPU-for-Panel comprises:

• IO/COM Bus connector for interfacing Uni-I/O & Uni-COMs modules
• Isolated RS485 and CANbus ports
• Backup battery

HMI Panels – Available in different dimensions

A high-resolution touch screen provides the operator interface for the system and the physical foundation for a PLC+HMI+I/Os all-in-one controller. The DIN-rail structure on the panels back is designed to physically support a CPU-for-Panel controller, Uni-I/O and/or Uni-COMs modules.Each panel comprises:

• AUX connector to support the CPU
• 1 audio-out 3.5mm jack1 microSD slot
• 2 type A, USB host ports and 1 Mini-B USB device port
• 2 Ethernet ports, RJ45, 10/100 Mbps
• 1 power input connector, 12/24 VDC

I/O OptionsIntegrate I/Os into your system by using:

• On-board I/Os: snap onto the panel for an all-in-one configuration
• Local I/O via a Local Expansion Kit
• Remote I/O via EX-RC1

Programming SoftwareAll-in-one UniLogic software, for hardware configuration, communications, and HMI/PLC applications, available as a free download from Unitronics web site.
