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 the Unitronics Technical Library at

The ‘x’s in the model numbers are placeholders for the cable lengths.

Power Supply
Adapters without an integrated power supply:
UniStream Modular and UniStream PLC controllers can supply power to a maximum of 8 modules.
Adapters that do not have a power supply draw power from UniStream and supply it to the
modules. This means, for example, that if there are 3 modules directly connected to the controller,
you can add an additional 5 via this type of adapter.
Adapters with integrated power supply:
must be connected to a 24VDC power source. The adapter can then supply up to 16 modules with
power, regardless of any directly connected to the controller.
