0 commentsHello people! I am happy to announce that our recently-released UniStream TA32 PLC was written up in IEN:
>Process control demands precision, and often, more analog I/O than a PLC can handle—until now.
Enter the new UniStream TA32, a powerful controller specifically designed for precision process control. This easily-programmed controller offers a unique onboard I/O configuration and a rich feature set that caters to diverse project needs—and makes this PLC a natural choice for applications like water treatment, boilers, HVAC, and more.<

0 commentsSo--here we go, with a summary of the Unitronics forum community activity for 2023!
In 2023 we welcomed over 1000 new members. Over 400 topics were posted overall and over 2,500 posts were made during the year. Over 1200 files were downloaded—and thousands of people searched the forum to answer their questions.
The Unitronics community would not be possible without our forum MVPs. Our four knowledgeable MVPs—and I cannot stress this enough—are volunteers, not Unitronics employees. They devote a great deal of time and energy to the community as forum moderators. They approve posts, move posts to appropriate forums when necessary, and flag spammers (we have plenty of those).
This is in addition, people, to using their general deep expertise in all things control--and their specific, profound expertise in Unitronics products to answer your questions.
>Drum roll<
Our thanks to our fabulous MVPs:
Joe Tauser, of Joseph Tauser & Associates, located in St.Louis, Missouri, USA, http://www.jtauser.com/
Barry Lanier—you know him as Flex727—located in Allen, Texas, USA (near Dallas) blanier@arc-controls.com
The one and only Ausman, located Down Under—Australia!
Kratmel, otherwise known as Roman Kurka, located in the Ukraine. On a personal note, I truly value the patience these individuals show in helping forum members pinpoint the source of a problem, the solutions they find—and their humor. A little humor goes a long way!

2 commentsHi people!
Our newest product was developed in answer to customers who needed UniStream performance--but who do not require an integrated HMI panel.
>drum roll<
Meet the UniStream PLC
This unique PLC, unlike other UniStream controllers, does not have an integrated HMI panel--however, it supports HMI applications just like any other UniStream.
The secret is Virtual HMI. This means that you can mount the controller on a DIN rail in a cabinet, and access it from:
any mobile device that supports VNC the new UniStream Display (USL) any UniStream Modular HMI panel (USP) any UniStream Built-in (on the panels integral to the device) The UniStream PLC is a line of PLCs with built-in I/Os that may be mounted on a DIN-rail. Unlike other UniStream Controllers, does not include a built-in HMI screen.
This PLC is appropriate for applications that need UniStream power and functionality, but that either do not require an HMI application, or that require a distributed HMI.
All UniStream PLCs support Virtual HMI--they can display HMI screens which you design in UniLogic in exactly the same way as for any other UniStream controller. You can display the HMI screens on:
UniStream Displays (USL), included in this release. UniStream Displays are a series of color touch-screens that support VNC.
UniStream Modular HMI panels (USP)
UniStream Built-in (on the panels integral to the device)
Any device screen that supports VNC
The series is available in three versions: Pro, Standard, and Basic.
When you select your UniStream model in Hardware Configuration, only relevant options are available in UniLogic.

----------------------------------From our official press release:
The UniStream PLC is based on proven, award-winning UniStream hardware and UniLogic software that enhances your ability to implement all of the control tasks required by your machine or process application.
A multi-function controller that matches a vast range of application requirements, the UniStream PLC provides users with advanced communication support, including Industry 4.0, and introduces a unique concept in Virtual HMIs.
Virtual HMI – A New Approach to Automation
UniStream PLC combines two technologies in one product:
Virtual HMI– As an Industry first, the PLC stores and runs the program logic as well as the HMI user application within the PLC itself. This brings you a unique advantage: you can view and operate your machine, or access your process via any mobile phone, PC, or remote display device. Controller Hardware – The powerful controller has built-in I/Os that can be expanded to more than 2,000 I/Os, including digital, analog, high-speed and temperature, as well as communication modules supporting Modbus, Ethernet/IP, MQTT, SQL, SNMP, and more. Along with the UniStream PLC, Unitronics has also released a line of compatible displays, offering customers a full package for varied PLC and HMI requirements.
Award-winning Programming Software
UniStream PLC is backed by UniLogic® all-in-one programming software, which cuts programming time up to 50%, and includes Built-in Trends and Gauges, auto-tuned PID, data sampling, complex data tools, Recipes and more.
UniLogic offers OEMs and System Integrators a faster and easier programming solution as all tasks can be programmed using the same software environment. Users can build the PLC application, design HMI screens, create web pages in multiple languages, and save it all in a library to reuse in other projects.
The best of two worlds: Robust PLC Hardware with Virtual HMI
With its robust hardware and extremely efficient time-saving programming software, the new controller benefits users in multiple ways, simplifying and speeding projects, while offering outstanding configuration versatility.
“Unitronics is well-known for outstanding innovation, and with our new UniStream PLC, we’ve done it again,” says Boaz Karmy, VP Sales and Marketing, at Unitronics. “Richly featured and powerful, yet compactly designed, the UniStream PLC raises the bar by providing unique Virtual HMI features and versatile hardware configuration, using the same programming environment.” –
