Showing training at i4 Automation for the Unitronics range of productsTraining at i4 Automation for the Unitronics range of products

We have just completed some training this is what our customers said……..

David……
Many thanks for the training day on Monday.
I got back to Leeds by 7pm, without much fuss on the A1/M62.
Really learnt a lot yesterday – I think the “stabilisers” have been taken off the bike – so I need to get some practise with this unit, and try to make it do a few things such as counting, and speed measurement !
 Ofir was very patient, and Tim, who I set next was also very helpful too.
Thanks once again.
Maria…..
The course was great and the products are great too – I’ll try my best tomorrow to see if there’s any chance of trying to integrate these into the stuff we’re doing –it would certainly make my life easier!

If you would like to know about our next training course or more information on our range of products please give us a call 01480 395 256

How easy it is to connect our range of PLC and integrated HMI’s to 3rd party intelligent sensors or nearly any other device’s via RS232 / RS485.

Posted on 8 November 2011 by admini4a

Following on from the recent exhibitions and interest that has been expressed in communication options. We thought it would be a worthwhile exercise to emphasise how easy it is to connect our range of PLC and integrated HMI’s to 3rd party intelligent sensors or nearly any other device’s via RS232 / RS485.


Unitronics engineers have worked hard to reduce the pain involved in serial communications by producing a function block that allows you to configure a message using a comprehensive set of pre-defined conversion and calculation tools.  The net result is a neat little box in the middle of your program that sends out a question and returns the answer to a place of your choice.

Plus the added value of free programming software
Integrated PLC & HMI
Choice of communication protocols, Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet, CANbus, UniCAN, DF1…
Demonstration stock to prove your application
Great technical support

For more information take a look at our website http://www.i4automation.co.uk/serialcommsfb.aspx

Unitronics Snap-In I/O Offers More Flexibility for Vision Series Integrated PLC+HMIs.

Posted on 29 July 2011 by admini4a

The convenience is clear: Unitronics PLC + HMI package exempts machine manufacturers from setting up Panel-PLC communication- saving programming time, cabinet space and money. This single Ladder Logic programming environment is part of the Unitronics “all-in-one package”, and is available at no additional cost.

V200-18-E62B with V1210-T20B from i4 Automation

PLC & HMI with easy to use snap in module

Unitronics Snap-in I/Os are a convenient, affordable way to “snap” your choice of a variety of I/O combinations directly to the back of most “Vision” series PLC + HMI controllers. Most “Vision” series controllers enable the user to pick and choose from an assortment of Snap-in I/O combinations to fit their specific application needs. A whole system’s requirements can be fulfilled with just one “Snap”! Connecting directly to the back of a Unitronics Vision200, Vision500, Vision1040 or Vision1210 series PLC+HMI, the new V200-18-E62B Snap-in module now supports a total combination of 62 analog and digital inputs and outputs. Specifically, this combination includes: 30 Digital inputs (including 2 shaft encoder inputs), 2 analog inputs, 28 digital outputs, and 2 high-speed digital outputs.

With additional expansion modules, mounted locally or remotely up to 1000m from the controller, configurations can be expandable up to 1024 I/O. Unitronics solitary Snap-in I/Os (without expansion units) typically range from 30 – (now) 62 I/O with the new V200-18-E62B. Basic Snap I/O options can include: digital and analog inputs and outputs, high-speed I/O, PT100/Thermocouple capabilities, and weight measurement.

Additional features of the “Enhanced Vision” series controllers (V1210, V1040, V570, V350, V560, V290 Color, and V130) include: A USB programming port, recipe capabilities, Micro SD card memory storage for data logging and back up, complete PLC cloning and more. Communication options include Ethernet, cellular, and industrial protocols such as MODBUS, DF1 slave, J1939, and CANopen, UniCan.

 

High density I/O as part of the PLC & HMI system

Now able to provide even more flexibility when configuring a system’s precise requirements, the new Snap-in module offers particular appeal wherever budget is a primary factor. Being equipped with many I/Os allows this snap-in module to help cut costs by taking the place of lower I/O count modules and adapters that may have otherwise been purchased.

Unitronics PLC & HMI all in One Unit: Now PROFIBUS option

Posted on 29 July 2011 by admini4a

Unitronics, a global developer and manufacturer of Programmable Logic Controllers with integrated HMIs, now supports fast, deterministic data exchange on the factory floor with NEW PROFIBUS communication capabilities.

 

Unitronics slave mdules on a network

Unitronics now have Profibus option contact i4 Automation

Unitronics new communication module, the V100-17-PB1, is now available for the Vision350™ and Vision130™ series all-in-one controllers. Via an easy to use function block, the enhanced controllers installed with the new communication card can function in a PROFIBUS DP network as slave devices via GSD files. This enables the Unitronics controllers to be integrated into applications that have a PROFIBUS network, under PROFIBUS master devices.

 

Why use Unitronics PROFIBUS? Not only do these enhanced models give users with PROFIBUS networks the compatibility advantage, but all Unitronics controllers contain a built-in, user-friendly operator panel and a wide variety of onboard and expandable input/output options. Unitronics integrated controllers now give engineers and systems integrators the benefit of distributed slave control in a pre-existing PROFIBUS network with a bare minimum of budget, programming time, cabinet space and wiring.

 

Both series of controllers support many types of analogue and digital I/O options, including high-speed I/O, PT100/Thermocouple capabilities, and weight measurement. These can be mounted locally or remotely, up to 1000m from the controller. The Vision350™ can support up to 512  I/Os via on board and expansion modules, while the Vision130™ model is expandable up to 256 I/O points. The Vision350™’s 3.5”, 65K colour touchscreen can show over 1000 displays, with 6MB for images and fonts, while the Vision130™ model features a graphical screen and keypad. Both units can also display graphs according to historical values- to reflect trends of recorded data. With the new addition of PROFIBUS, other communication options include TCP/IP Ethernet, GSM/SMS, MODBUS and CANopen networking plus remote access for data acquisition and program download. Other core capabilities include a rich range of embedded features such as 24 independent PID loops, internal 120K data table for datalogging and recipe programming, and SD card.
