The Unitronics UniStream Built-in series redefines the concept of an all-in-one automation controller. By seamlessly integrating a powerful PLC, a vibrant HMI touch panel, and flexible onboard I/O into a single, compact unit, it eliminates the need for separate panel-PLC wiring and communication setup. This integration saves valuable panel space and significantly reduces engineering time. Available with high-quality 5-inch, 7-inch, or 10.1-inch resistive color touchscreens, the UniStream Built-in series is designed to serve OEMs and system integrators who require robust functionality in a space-saving footprint.

At the heart of the UniStream is a dual-CPU architecture that delivers exceptional processing power. This design enables a blazing-fast bit operation speed of 0.13 microseconds and provides 2 MB of operand memory. The controller is built for scalability, supporting up to 2,048 local and remote I/O points, with options for digital, analog, high-speed, and temperature inputs and outputs. Advanced features like auto-tune PID control (up to 64 loops), data logging via MicroSD card, recipe management, and function blocks come standard, making it suitable for complex machine control and process automation tasks. The HMI itself boasts a rich graphical library, multi-language display, and built-in ANSI/ISA standard alarm screens.

Connectivity is a cornerstone of the UniStream platform, positioning it firmly in the Industry 4.0 landscape. Standard built-in ports include Ethernet, a USB host, and a Mini-USB device port for programming. Additional COM modules can be added for CANbus, RS232, and RS485. Critically, the controller supports an extensive array of communication protocols out-of-the-box, including MQTT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, CANopen, BACnet, SNMP, and VNC. For advanced applications, features like an SQL Client, Web Server, and FTP are available, especially on Pro models. A Message Composer utility allows for the implementation of custom third-party serial, TCP/IP, or CANbus protocols. The controller is also UniCloud-ready, enabling secure IIoT access, dashboards, and remote diagnostics without complex coding.

All aspects of the UniStream are programmed using UniLogic, Unitronics' free, all-in-one software environment. UniLogic streamlines development by unifying hardware configuration, ladder logic programming, HMI screen design, and communication setup into a single interface. A powerful "build-it-once" feature allows engineers to create and reuse ladder functions, HMI screens, and web pages across multiple projects, dramatically accelerating time-to-market. With no hidden software costs or recurring license fees, Unitronics provides a compelling, cost-effective solution for machine builders looking to deliver high-performance, connected equipment without the burden of proprietary ecosystems.
