M91-2-T38 Unitronics M91 Textual display and keyboard HMI and PLC onboard I/Os expands up to 150 I/Os
MPN: M91-2-T38
Alt. SKU: M912T38
Why Choose the Unitronics M91-2-T38 Micro PLC with Integrated Text HMI?
The Unitronics M91-2-T38 is a compact micro PLC with integrated text-based HMI from the Unitronics M90/M91 series. Designed for small and medium automation systems, it combines logic control, operator interface and onboard I/O in a single device, helping reduce panel wiring, hardware costs and installation time.
The controller features a two-line LCD display capable of showing 16 characters per line along with a built-in 15-key keypad, allowing operators to monitor machine status, navigate menus and modify parameters directly from the controller. This integrated design eliminates the need for a separate HMI while still providing a simple operator interface for machines and process systems.
The M91-2-T38 offers extensive onboard I/O including 22 digital inputs and 16 transistor outputs. Two inputs can operate as high-speed counters up to around 10 kHz, and two outputs support PWM high-speed control, making the controller suitable for motion monitoring, encoder feedback and fast switching applications.
