Why Choose the Unitronics US5-B5-B1 PLC + HMI Controller?
The Unitronics US5-B5-B1 is a compact and highly flexible PLC and HMI controller from the UniStream Built-in B5 series. Combining a powerful programmable logic controller with a high-quality 5-inch colour touchscreen HMI, it provides an efficient all-in-one automation platform for machine builders, panel manufacturers and industrial automation engineers. Unlike I/O-equipped variants, the B1 model is supplied without onboard I/O, enabling fully customised system design through local and remote expansion modules.
Designed to simplify industrial automation projects, the US5-B5-B1 integrates control, visualisation and communications into a single compact device. Its space-saving design reduces panel footprint while providing powerful processing capabilities, extensive networking options and seamless scalability for future expansion.
Featuring a 5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, Ethernet connectivity, USB Host and USB Device ports, and support for up to 2,048 remote I/O points, the US5-B5-B1 is ideally suited to OEM machinery, building automation, process control systems and custom industrial applications.
