SM35-J-RA22 Unitronics Samba 3.5" colour touchscreen HMI and PLC with onboard I/O configurations
MPN: SM35-J-RA22
Alt. SKU: SM35JRA22
Why Choose the Unitronics SM35-J-RA22 PLC with Touchscreen HMI?
The Unitronics SM35-J-RA22 is a compact PLC with integrated colour touchscreen HMI from the Unitronics Samba series, designed for efficient automation control in small machines and industrial systems. Featuring a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen, the controller enables operators to monitor processes, adjust parameters and control equipment directly from a single panel-mounted device.
Powered by a 24 V DC supply, the SM35-J-RA22 integrates a versatile set of digital, analogue and temperature inputs together with relay and analogue outputs. This allows direct connection to sensors, actuators and process signals without requiring additional I/O modules, simplifying panel design and reducing system costs.
The Samba platform also combines PLC programming and HMI design within a single development environment, enabling engineers to implement control logic, alarms, data logging and operator interfaces quickly and efficiently.
