April 23, 2013 - Unitronics introduces JZ20-R16 & JZ20-R10 PLCs with 48K (virtual) Ladder Logic memory, 30 times faster performance than previous models and a built-in mini USB programming port, With the same look, dimensions, wiring and functional behavior, the JZ20-R16 & JZ20-R10 models have complete backward compatibility to the standard Jazz PLCs. JZ20-R16 & JZ20-R10 are suitable for replacing ‘smart relays,’and for applications such as simple autoclaves, rotating tables, home automation, and other small-to-medium systems. The controllers include 4 auto-tune PID loops. PID can be set using the onboard temperature/analog inputs, and the analog or PWM outputs; all onboard transistor outputs can function as PWM outputs.
Jazz and Jazz 2 units also feature a full-function HMI with a two line LCD text display that shows up to 60 user-designed screens, and a 16-key keypad. The multilingual display supports over 15 languages, and 20 graphic symbols. Software functions include: interrupt, loops, math, store and compare. Communications options include SMS messaging, MODBUS networking and PC access via MODBUS or OPC. Unitronics’ free software provides one user-friendly environment for hardware configuration, and HMI design.
Unitronics also offers free technical support for all of their products. The JZ20-R16 & JZ20-R10 and Jazz 2 series controllers reduce overall system costs by minimizing hardware requirements, saving cabinet space—and, above all—exempting the user from setting up Panel-PLC communication.
