Why Choose the Unitronics V130-J-T38 PLC with Integrated HMI?
The Unitronics V130-J-T38 is a compact and powerful PLC with integrated HMI, designed for machine automation, process control and OEM applications requiring high-speed digital control. As part of the proven Unitronics Vision130 series, it combines a programmable logic controller, operator interface and onboard I/O into a single device, reducing installation costs, panel space requirements and system complexity.
Designed for automation engineers, machine builders and control panel manufacturers, the V130-J-T38 features a built-in monochrome graphic display and programmable keypad, enabling operators to monitor machine status, adjust parameters and interact with control systems without requiring a separate HMI. Its compact design makes it ideal for installations where space is at a premium while maintaining advanced automation capabilities.
Featuring 20 digital inputs, 2 analogue/digital inputs and 16 transistor outputs, the V130-J-T38 is ideally suited for packaging machinery, material handling systems, conveyor applications, OEM equipment and industrial automation projects requiring fast switching outputs and high-speed counting capabilities. The controller operates from a 24 VDC power supply and supports expansion up to 256 I/O points.
