JZ20-J-T18 Unitronics Jazz Textual display and keybord HMI and PLC with upto 40 onboard I/Os

Why Choose the Unitronics JZ20-J-T18 PLC with Integrated HMI?

The Unitronics JZ20-J-T18 is a compact micro PLC with integrated text HMI from the Unitronics Jazz series, designed to deliver efficient machine control in small to medium industrial automation systems. By combining PLC logic, operator interface and onboard I/O in a single panel-mount device, the controller simplifies system architecture and reduces wiring complexity.

Powered by a 24 V DC supply, the controller provides a versatile combination of digital and analogue inputs alongside high-speed transistor outputs. This allows the device to directly connect sensors, switches, analogue signals and actuators without requiring additional expansion modules. The Jazz platform also supports Modbus communication and ladder programming, enabling integration with wider automation systems and PLC networks.

The integrated display and keypad allow operators to monitor machine status, adjust parameters and interact with processes directly from the controller front panel, making it ideal for compact OEM machine panels and industrial control cabinets.
