Unitronics UniStream Built-in and Samkoon GT/GX: compact HMI+PLC selection guide
Compare UniStream Built-in with Samkoon GT/GX HMI+PLCs by display, fixed I/O, analogue/temperature, motion, protocols and software.
Short answer
What does this page recommend?
A technical alternative, not a drop-in substitute
Samkoon GT and GX models can be evaluated within the same purchasing intent as UniStream Built-in for compact machines that need a screen, PLC and defined I/O in one enclosure. UniStream expansion, protocols, web/cloud and UniLogic ecosystem are not treated as model-level equivalents; every I/O and software duty is revalidated.

Similar requirement, different architecture
The table explains product architectures; it is not an exact order-code selection.
| Validation area | Unitronics UniStream Built-in | Samkoon / ProControl candidate |
|---|---|---|
| Single-enclosure architecture | UniStream Built-in combines touchscreen HMI, PLC and defined built-in I/O options in one family; B5/B10 and R38/T42 codes are not the same I/O. | The exact Samkoon GT/GX code determines display, DI/DO type and analogue/temperature channels; selection is not based on total I/O count alone. |
| Digital I/O and output type | UniStream Built-in variants offer relay or transistor outputs and different digital-I/O layouts; commons and electrical limits come from the hardware guide. | GT-070-26MR is in the relay-output class; GX/GT-32MT candidates are transistor-output class. SINK/SOURCE, commons, load current and protection are verified from the exact diagram. |
| Analogue and temperature channels | UniStream analogue, RTD and thermocouple capabilities depend on the selected Built-in model and additional I/O modules. | The GT-26MR candidate is in the 1 TC+1 AI class, GX-32MT-4AI2AO in 4 AI+2 AO, and GT-32MT-8TC in 8 TC; sensor type, resolution and isolation are checked separately. |
| High-speed counting and motion | UniStream high-speed I/O and motion duties are assessed together with CPU, I/O model, axes and software functions. | The official GT-32MT-8TC page lists four 200 kHz pulse outputs and high-speed counters; drive interface, pulse type, axis synchronisation and cycle time are proven in the application. |
| Communications and upper systems | UniStream can offer Ethernet/serial/CAN and web, VNC, SQL, MQTT or cloud functions in a model, licence and software context. | On Samkoon, Ethernet, serial, optional 4G/Wi-Fi and protocols are verified on the exact model; an upper-system function is not treated as equal merely because a port exists. |
| Software, expansion and migration | UniStream Built-in projects combine HMI, ladder, hardware and communications in one UniLogic project; expansion capacity depends on the family architecture. | The Samkoon GT/GX project is rebuilt in the SKTOOL/Samkoon logic environment. UniLogic projects, I/O tags, function blocks and web/cloud structures do not transfer automatically. |
Suitable scenario
When is it worth evaluating?
- Compact single-machine control where exact Samkoon code covers I/O count and type
- Projects needing HMI, ladder and local I/O in one panel with limited upper-system functions
- Modernisations where the UniLogic project, field wiring and safety logic can be redesigned
Migration gate
Before making a decision
- Record the full UniStream model, B5/B10 base and R38/T42 I/O code.
- Extract every DI/DO common, output type/current, analogue/TC/RTD sensor and isolation requirement.
- Measure high-speed counter, PTO, motion, expansion and maximum-cycle requirements.
- Validate Ethernet/serial/CAN, web/VNC/SQL/MQTT/cloud and user-security requirements separately.
- Test I/O, temperature/analogue scaling, pulse, fault response, restart and HMI flow on a wired prototype.
Frequently asked
Clear answers about alternatives and migration
Is this a drop-in replacement?
No. It is not a direct substitute until exact model, electrical, protocol-role, mechanical, software and certification checks pass.
What should I provide for selection?
The exact existing code, diagram or I/O list, PLC/network data, supply, environment and special functions in use.
Do the I/O numbers in a GT/GX model code show a direct match to UniStream connections?
No. Relay/transistor type, SINK/SOURCE, commons, load current, sensor type, isolation and high-speed-I/O behaviour must be verified at terminal level.

This content compares manufacturer-published data under the same project requirement; it does not guarantee direct substitution or project compatibility. ProControl engineering must validate exact model, revision, protocol, electrical, safety and environmental conditions.
