Unitronics UniStream UAG-XK Series User Manual

UniStream ® Local
Expansion Adapter Kits
Local Expansion Adapter Kits allow you to increase the number of I/Os connected to a single UniStream
by enabling you to link the controller to additional Uni-I/O™ modules.
This guide provides specifications for Unitronics' Short Range and Long Range Local Expansion Adapter
Kit for Uni-I/O™.
All Kits comprise a Base unit, an End unit, and a connecting cable. The cable length varies according to
kit model.
Short-range adapter Kits
▪
Up to 3 meters
Long-range adapter Kits
▪
3 meters and up
Kits whose models contain the letter 'P' include a built-in power supply; a powered adapter module
supports a greater number of I/O modules.
There are two main classes of adapters:
▪ UAG-XK
Both the Base and End units of these adapters have DIN-rail clips. You can:
▪ Snap the base onto the DIN-rail type structure on the back of UniStream Modular HMI
▪ Snap the base directly onto a UniStream PLC
▪ UAG-CX
The base unit of these adapters has a plug; the end unit has DIN-rail clips. You can plug the base unit
only into the I/O Expansion Jack offered by the UniStream Built-in series.
Note that the maximum number of modules supported by a single controller is provided in the controller's
technical specifications.
Technical specifications are available in Unitronics' Technical Library at www.unitronicsplc.com.
