—
Unionscience Technology Group Co., Ltd., a Chinese industrial automation technology company and developer of the LicOS automation platform, has expanded its portfolio of PLC, PAC, I/O, and servo solutions for international manufacturers and automation system integrators seeking flexible industrial control technologies.
The company said its LicOS product portfolio is being positioned to support a broader range of industrial automation applications, combining programmable logic controllers, motion controllers, I/O systems, servo drives, and industrial communication technologies within an integrated automation platform.
Founded in 2000, Unionscience Technology Group develops industrial controllers and industrial software from its operations in Kunming, China. The company currently offers multiple LicOS PLC and PAC product families, including the EC200, EC300, EC400, MC500, MC600, and MC700 series, together with GL200 I/O systems, remote I/O modules, couplers, and EtherCAT-based servo systems. The company’s product portfolio is designed for applications spanning manufacturing, logistics, transportation, mining, metallurgy, energy, and other industrial sectors.
The company’s international expansion comes as manufacturers and automation integrators increasingly evaluate additional control-system suppliers for new equipment projects, modernization programs, and machine-building applications. Unionscience is responding by developing LicOS solutions with support for widely used industrial communication technologies and international programming standards.
LicOS Platform Supports Advanced Motion and Industrial Communication
A key product in the company’s high-performance automation portfolio is the MC700 Series Large PAC, designed for complex and high-precision motion control applications. According to Unionscience, the MC700 platform can support up to 256 synchronized motion axes and provides real-time processing capabilities for demanding automation systems.
The MC700 also supports industrial communication technologies including EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, CANopen, OPC UA, and MQTT, enabling integration with machine-level equipment as well as higher-level industrial information systems.
The controller supports IEC 61131-3 programming languages, including Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Instruction List, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, and Continuous Function Chart. The platform also supports advanced functions including electronic camming, electronic gearing, interpolation, CNC applications, and robotic control.
These capabilities are intended to allow system integrators and original equipment manufacturers to develop automation systems using a common control platform while maintaining compatibility with a range of industrial devices and communication architectures.
Expanded Automation Portfolio Supports Industrial Applications
Alongside its PLC and PAC controllers, Unionscience has developed a broader automation product ecosystem under the LicOS brand.
The company’s GL200 blade I/O system provides digital, analog, and temperature measurement modules, with hot-swappable module designs intended to simplify maintenance and system configuration. The company also offers remote I/O and coupler products for distributed automation architectures, as well as EtherCAT and pulse-based servo drive products.
The EC400 large-scale PLC is designed for process-control applications requiring high availability and redundancy. The system supports dual-CPU and dual-PLC redundancy architectures for applications where continuous operation and fault tolerance are important considerations. Unionscience has presented the EC400 and MC700 platforms at industrial exhibitions as part of its development of localized industrial control technologies.
The company’s product development strategy focuses on providing an integrated automation platform rather than standalone PLC hardware. Its LicOS ecosystem includes PLC and PAC controllers, I/O systems, servo products, industrial software, and related industrial Internet technologies.
International Engineering and Customization Support
Unionscience is also developing its international support capabilities for overseas customers, OEMs, and automation integrators. The company provides technical assistance and customization services for industrial applications in which control hardware and software need to be adapted to specific machine architectures or production requirements.
The company’s manufacturing center in Kunming includes a dedicated production facility and an OEM and ODM service team. Unionscience states that its manufacturing operations are supported by CE and ISO-related certifications and that the company has more than 200 employees and more than 50 patent certificates.
The company reports serving more than 6,000 customers worldwide across industries including mining, metallurgy, logistics, printing, manufacturing, road traffic, railway, and hydropower. Its international customer base includes users in markets such as Southeast Asia and other overseas regions.
For overseas manufacturers, the company is focusing on practical integration requirements such as communication compatibility, engineering flexibility, product customization, technical documentation, and after-sales support.
Unionscience Technology Group Continues Development of LicOS Industrial Automation Platform
The development of LicOS forms part of Unionscience Technology Group’s longer-term focus on independently developed industrial controllers and industrial software.
The company was established in 2000 and has developed its own industrial controller and industrial operating system technologies. According to the company, its technology portfolio includes more than 50 patents and 147 software copyrights, supported by a technical team of more than 200 professionals.
With continued development of PLC, PAC, I/O, servo, and industrial software technologies, Unionscience Technology Group is expanding the LicOS platform for manufacturers and system integrators seeking alternative automation solutions for new equipment and industrial modernization projects.
