Why Choose the Unitronics US5-B5-B1 UniStream PLC with Integrated HMI?
The Unitronics US5-B5-B1 is a compact PLC and touchscreen HMI all-in-one controller from the UniStream Built-in series. Designed for industrial automation applications, it combines a programmable logic controller and operator interface within a single panel-mounted device, simplifying machine control architecture and reducing control cabinet wiring.
The controller features a 5 inch colour resistive touchscreen display that provides intuitive machine visualisation for monitoring system status, alarms and process data. Engineers can configure PLC logic, HMI graphics and communications using Unitronics' UniLogic development environment, enabling complete automation projects to be designed from a single integrated platform.
The B1 variant is a CPU-only controller and does not include built-in I/O, allowing flexible system design through external UniStream I/O expansion modules or remote I/O systems. This architecture enables scalable automation solutions for machines where the I/O configuration must be customised.
