Uni-I/O™ Modules
Uni-I/O™ is a family of Input/Output modules that are compatible with the UniStream™ control platform.
This guide provides basic installation information for UID-0808R, UID-0808T, UID-0808THS, UID-1600,
UID-0016R, and UID-0016T modules.
Technical specifications may be downloaded from the Unitronics website.
The UniStream™ platform comprises
CPU controllers, HMI panels, and local
I/O modules
that snap together to form an
all-in-one Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC).
Install Uni-I/O™ modules:
▪ Onto the back of any UniStream™ HMI
Panel comprising a CPU-for-Panel.
Onto a DIN-rail, using a
▪
Local Expansion Kit.
The maximum number of Uni-I/O™ modules that can be connected to a single CPU controller is limited.
For details, please refer to the specification sheets of the UniStream™ CPU or any of the relevant Local
Expansion Kits.
Before You Begin
Before installing the device, the installer must:
▪ Read and understand this document.
▪ Verify the Kit Contents.
Installation option requirements
If you are installing a Uni-I/O™ module onto:
▪ A UniStream™ HMI Panel; the Panel must comprise a CPU-for-Panel, installed according to the CPU-for-
Panel installation guide.
A DIN-rail; you must use a Local Expansion Kit, available by separate order, to integrate the Uni-I/O™
▪
modules on the DIN-rail into a UniStream™ control system.
