All-in-One Control That Streamlines Machinery & Cuts Build Costs
At MASK Control Systems, we provide expert Unitronics PLC programming and automation solutions for industrial applications across a wide range of sectors.
Unitronics PLC systems combine control and HMI functionality into a single, powerful platform—offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for many automation applications.
As a UK-based automation engineering company with global capability, we design, program, and integrate Unitronics PLC systems tailored to your production environment.
Zero HMI Cabling
The PLC processor mounts directly behind the touch screen, eliminating serial cables and panel wiring.
Direct SQL & Cloud Sync
Log production metrics directly into enterprise SQL databases and cloud brokers without third-party PCs.
The Unitronics Efficiency
- Up to 35% Cost Savings: Eliminate separate HMI purchases, duplicate software licenses, and enclosure space.
- VNC Remote Control: Mirror the exact machine screen onto any smartphone, tablet, or PC for 24/7 supervision.
- Built-in Media Player: Display PDF maintenance manuals and training videos directly on the operator screen.
- Rapid Programming: One tag database for both logic and HMI graphics cuts development cycles in half.
What are Unitronics PLC Systems?
Unitronics PLC systems are integrated control solutions that combine full PLC functionality with built-in touchscreen HMI interfaces.
This all-in-one approach simplifies system design, reduces enclosure hardware requirements, and provides efficient, highly responsive control and monitoring capabilities for machines of all sizes.

Advantages of Unitronics All-in-One Systems
Why manufacturers and machine builders worldwide choose Unitronics for cost-effective, space-saving industrial automation.
Integrated PLC & HMI in One Platform
A single piece of hardware houses both the PLC processor and the high-resolution operator touchscreen, eliminating panel-to-HMI communications cabling.
Cost-Effective Automation Solution
Save up to 35% on hardware costs, enclosure sizing, panel punching, and installation labor compared to purchasing separate PLCs and HMIs.
Simplified System Architecture
One single engineering software (UniLogic / VisiLogic), one programming cable, and a shared tag database eliminate communication mapping errors.
Easy Operation & Maintenance
Intuitive touchscreen interfaces with built-in system diagnostics allow plant operators to troubleshoot issues without plugging in a programming laptop.
Native IIoT, SQL & Cloud Ready
Built-in support for MQTT, REST API, direct SQL queries, and secure web servers provides instant enterprise connectivity right out of the box.
Rugged Industrial Durability
IP65/IP66 front panel sealing, wide operating temperature ranges, and robust electrical noise immunity built for demanding manufacturing.

Small to Medium Projects
Cost-sensitive factory upgrades needing modern touchscreen control without exorbitant capital expenditure.
Problems We Solve with Unitronics
Overcoming tight automation budgets, cramped enclosures, and operator visibility bottlenecks with all-in-one control.
High hardware license fees, separate HMI screens, and complex multi-vendor software make automation projects unaffordable for many plants.
Unitronics delivers industrial PLC power, beautiful touchscreens, and free un-licensed software, slashing project costs by up to 35%.
Separate PLCs, HMIs, power supplies, and communication converter modules require massive enclosures and hundreds of inter-wires.
By mounting the PLC directly behind the HMI screen on the panel door, we free up interior backplate space and eliminate external wiring.
Operators relying on manual dials, analog gauges, and paper logs result in human errors, inconsistent product quality, and waste.
We build intuitive touchscreen recipe selectors with automated batch execution and direct USB / SQL logging for 100% repeatability.
Machines equipped with simple push buttons and pilot lamps leave operators clueless when an unexpected sensor trip occurs.
Unitronics HMIs display clear graphical fault banners with troubleshooting instructions, accessible on-screen or remotely via mobile VNC.
Aging machines controlled by discontinued mechanical relays, cam timers, and thumbwheel counters prone to frequent breakdowns.
We replace entire nests of old relays with a single sleek Unitronics all-in-one controller, instantly modernizing machine capabilities.
