PLC integration

PLC integration

JackNbox works across a wide range of technologies to develop bespoke machinery which often includes the design of the PLC integration from which all aspects of the machine’s workings are controlled with high degrees of accruacy. Integrating solutions such as the Unitronics range of Combine Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and HMI’s into automation products is a specialist area for our team.

The Unitronic PLCs provide enhanced technical specifications and easy to use programming tools, combining text, graphic, with built in I/O, and full colour touch screens which we favour due to their user friendly interfaces making our automation products easy to use for the operator.

The system can include Ethernet TCP/IP, CAN bus, CANopen, UniCAN, SAE J1939, MODBUS, BAS (Building Automation System), DF1 slave, and the recently introduced ProfiBus to enable communication with a wider range of third party systems, so no barrier exists for the controller to exchange data with TCP/IP-enabled devices, such as frequency converters, bar-code readers, and printers. The Unitronics range has built in protocol and protocol TCP/IP functions.
