Selecting the right programable logic controller (PLC) can mean the difference between a successful automation project and one full of headaches. In the high-tech and fast-paced world of industrial automation, you need a state-of-the-art PLC that is easy to program and supports a wide range of system requirements. You also need one that's reliable and cost-effective.
Unitronics might be exactly the PLC solution you're looking for. Here's why.
Unitronics Software is Simple, Yet Versatile
One of the biggest benefits of working with Unitronics is the ease of use. Unitronics software is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward. You don't have to waste time searching for elements because the logical and consistent layout makes it easy to find what you're looking for, even if it's your first time programming a particular task.
Unitronics software is also free to download and use (unlike some larger automation brands that charge thousands of dollars for software licenses). The same software is compatible across all Unitronics components, so you don't have to learn two different systems to run your servo motors and PLCs.
Unitronics is Cost-Effective, But Not "Cheap"
The Unitronics products are cost-effective and reliable. By "cost-effective" we do not mean a cheap knock-off version of a name-brand product. Unitronics is a company with decades of experience in industrial automation products. They helped pioneer modern PLC technology and have been making state-of-the-art PLCs since 1989.
Whether you need something simple and economical or more advanced, Unitronics has a range of product lines to fit various project goals. Unistream is a go-to series for MFP engineers. This series has powerful controllers with HMI features to help you execute high-end projects on time and within budget.

Unitronics is a Cohesive Ecosystem
Unitronics has an extensive product offering. In addition to PLCs, they also make servo motors and IO-Link masters, so you can design your next project without worrying about configuring components from two different manufacturers.
Recently, we helped a customer unbox and set up a PLC and IO-Link master to control a proportional valve. Normally, this could take a full day to ensure the various components communicate with each other correctly. But with Unitronics' easy-to-use software and plug-and-play components, our setup time was around eight minutes!
Get Unparalleled Unitronics Support with MFP
Working with the right Unitronics distributor (like MFP) means reliable support from experienced automation engineers. We're here to do more than just hand you a catalog and order parts. Our engineering team will help you pick the right part numbers for your application and find related components like sensors and actuators. We can also assist with troubleshooting and programming.
A few weeks ago, we got a call from a client who had ordered a Unitronics PLC. They picked the part numbers themselves, but when the PLC arrived, the customer had trouble setting up the analog outputs. Instead of spending valuable time searching through online help documents, they decided to call MFP. One of our engineers made a short video demonstrating how to configure the analog outputs, and the customer was up and running in no time.
Contact us if you're about to start a new project and we'll help you find a Unitronics solution that's simple, versatile, and cost-effective.
