Why Choose the Unitronics US5-C5-T42 UniStream 5" PLC + HMI?
The Unitronics US5-C5-T42 is a powerful UniStream built-in PLC with integrated 5 inch touchscreen HMI and high-performance transistor outputs, designed for modern industrial automation and machine control systems. By combining PLC processing, operator interface and flexible onboard I/O in one compact controller, it reduces panel complexity while delivering advanced control, monitoring and connectivity capabilities.
Part of the UniStream Built-in series, this controller integrates a colour touchscreen interface, powerful PLC engine and extensive communication options. It supports industrial networking, data logging, PID control and remote monitoring through the Unitronics UniCloud IIoT platform, enabling engineers to monitor machines and production systems remotely.
The US5-C5-T42 features a versatile onboard I/O configuration with 24 digital inputs, 2 analogue inputs and 16 PNP transistor outputs, including PWM channels for high-speed control applications. The controller can also expand to large distributed systems using UniStream I/O modules, supporting up to thousands of I/O points.
