SM70-J-T20 Unitronics Samba 7" colour touchscreen HMI and PLC with onboard I/O configurations
MPN: SM70-J-T20
Alt. SKU: SM70JT20
Why Choose the Unitronics SM70-J-T20 PLC with Touchscreen HMI?
The Unitronics SM70-J-T20 is a powerful PLC with integrated 7-inch colour touchscreen HMI from the Unitronics Samba series. Designed for industrial automation and OEM machine control, it combines programmable logic control, operator interface and onboard I/O in a single compact device, reducing panel complexity and installation time.
The controller features a 7″ high-resolution TFT colour touchscreen that allows operators to monitor system status, adjust parameters and control processes directly from the machine interface. Integrated digital and analogue inputs together with fast transistor outputs enable direct connection to sensors, actuators and automation equipment without requiring external expansion modules.
Powered by a 24 V DC supply, the SM70-J-T20 supports ladder logic programming and HMI configuration using Unitronics’ VisiLogic software, providing engineers with an integrated environment for automation programming, diagnostics and machine interface design.
