Unitronics has introduced the newest big-screen member of its PLC+HMI family, the Vision1210. Industrial control processes can now enjoy full PLC functionality with a larger than ever SVGA colour touch-screen with the opportunity to operate on a minimum of budget, programming time and wiring.
This controller is a perfect fit for the food industry and with its IP66 rating, this unit is ideal wherever spray or washdown applications apply. A wide variety of on board I/O options can be added by simply snapping a module onto the back of the PLC. Expandable up to 1024 I/O, these configurations include digital and analogue inputs and outputs, high-speed I/O, PT100/Thermocouple capabilities, and weight measurement. They can be mounted locally or remotely, up to 1000 m from the controller. The power-PLC is equipped with a built-in USB programming port, recipe capabilities, Micro SD card memory storage for datalogging and backup, complete PLC cloning and more.
Systems integrators can now rely on a single device: the Vision1210 can support 24 auto-tuned PID loops to control temperature, level, and pressure, while the
16-bit SVGA touch-screen displays data, trend graphs, and attention-grabbing alarm screens. Display options are almost endless, with more than 1000 user-designed screens and up to 500 images per application.
Communication options include TCP/IP Ethernet, cellular, and industrial protocols such as Modbus, DF1 slave, J1939 and CANopen. In addition, the Vision1210 can be ‘taught’ to communicate via almost any device-based protocol. The controller is also capable of time based and immediate interrupts, making it a natural for rapid response applications such as packaging machines.
Unitronics’ free VisiLogic software provides one user-friendly environment for hardware configuration, modular Ladder application development and HMI design, including a rich library of industrial images.
