SM70-J-RA22 Unitronics Samba 7" colour touchscreen HMI and PLC with onboard I/O configurations
MPN: SM70-J-RA22
Alt. SKU: SM70JRA22
Why Choose the Unitronics SM70-J-RA22 PLC with Touchscreen HMI?
The Unitronics SM70-J-RA22 is a high-performance PLC with integrated 7-inch colour touchscreen HMI from the Unitronics Samba series. Designed for industrial automation and OEM machine control, the controller combines PLC functionality, operator interface and onboard I/O into a single compact platform, simplifying control panel design while reducing wiring and installation complexity.
The device features a 7-inch TFT colour touchscreen display with high-resolution graphics that enables operators to monitor processes, configure parameters and interact with automation systems directly from the panel interface. With integrated digital, analogue and temperature inputs along with relay and analogue outputs, the SM70-J-RA22 connects directly to sensors, actuators and process instrumentation without requiring additional expansion modules.
Powered by a 24 V DC supply, the controller supports ladder logic programming and HMI development using the Unitronics Visilogic development environment, enabling engineers to design control logic, alarms, communication and operator screens within a single integrated software platform.
