V230-13-B20B Unitronics VISION 230B GRAPHIC OPLC
MPN: V230-13-B20B
Alt. SKU: V23013B20B
Why Choose the Unitronics V230-13-B20B Vision PLC + HMI Controller?
The Unitronics V230-13-B20B is a compact all-in-one PLC and HMI controller from the Unitronics Vision series. It integrates a programmable logic controller with an operator interface in a single device, allowing engineers to design machine control systems with reduced wiring, simplified configuration and lower overall system cost.
The controller features a 3.2-inch monochrome graphic LCD display combined with a 24-key keypad, enabling operators to monitor machine status, adjust parameters and interact with automation processes directly from the panel. The integrated PLC platform supports ladder logic programming and advanced HMI functionality using the free Unitronics VisiLogic software environment.
The V230-13-B20B supports snap-in I/O expansion modules that connect directly to the rear of the controller, enabling digital, analogue and temperature inputs as well as relay or transistor outputs. This modular architecture allows the controller to scale easily for different automation requirements while maintaining a compact footprint.
