US5-B5-T42 Unitronics Unistream 5" HMI and PLC with 24 digital/2 analog inputs and 16 transistor outputs
MPN: US5-B5-T42
Alt. SKU: US5B5T42
Why Choose the Unitronics US5-B5-T42 UniStream PLC + HMI?
The Unitronics US5-B5-T42 is a compact PLC with integrated HMI touchscreen from the UniStream Built-in series. Designed for modern industrial automation systems, this controller combines logic control, operator interface and built-in I/O within a single device, reducing panel space and simplifying system architecture.
The unit features a 5-inch colour TFT touchscreen with 800 × 480 resolution, allowing operators to monitor machine performance, manage alarms and control processes directly from the panel. With integrated 24 digital inputs, 2 analogue inputs, 16 transistor outputs and 2 analogue outputs, the controller provides extensive control capabilities without requiring additional expansion hardware.
UniStream controllers are widely used by machine builders and system integrators because they combine powerful PLC functionality with advanced HMI features, Ethernet connectivity and flexible expansion options for industrial control systems.
