M91-2-R1 Unitronics M91 Textual display and keyboard HMI and PLC onboard I/Os expands up to 150 I/Os
MPN: M91-2-R1
Alt. SKU: M912R1
Why Choose the Unitronics M91-2-R1 Micro PLC with Integrated Text HMI?
The Unitronics M91-2-R1 is a compact micro PLC with integrated text-based HMI from the Unitronics M90/M91 series, designed for small to medium industrial automation systems. The controller integrates logic control, operator interface and onboard I/O in a single unit, making it an efficient solution for machine builders and industrial control applications.
The controller features a two-line LCD operator display capable of showing 16 characters per line, along with a built-in 15-key keypad that allows operators to monitor and control machine processes directly from the panel. This integrated interface eliminates the need for a separate HMI panel while reducing panel space and wiring complexity.
The M91-2-R1 includes onboard digital and analogue I/O and supports additional expansion modules through its I/O expansion port. This flexibility allows the controller to scale as system requirements grow while maintaining a compact and cost-effective automation platform.
