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.

Installation Space Considerations
Allocate space for the Base Unit and End Unit according to the dimensions in the kit’s
technical specifications. Also, consider the space required to install and connect them, as
shown in the following Installation instructions.
Installation
Turn off system power before connecting or disconnecting any modules or devices.
Use proper precautions to prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).
This kit enables you to connect a UniStream™ controller to a row of Uni-I/O modules
located on a DIN-rail. To do this, you must:
Connect the Base Unit to the controller.
Connect the End Unit to the first module in a row of Uni-I/O modules.
Link the End Unit into the Base Unit via the connecting cable.
If you are using a:
UAG-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx or the UAG-
XKPLxxxx, connect it to a power source
UAG-XKxxx, only earth it.
Connecting the Adapter’s Base Unit: UniStream Modular
Note that:
Any Uni-COM™ modules snapped to the back of the UniStream HMI panel must be
connected directly to the CPU-for-Panel or to another Uni-COM module.
You must plug the Base Unit into the last element on the back of the UniStream™ HMI
Panel. This may be a Uni-COM™, or Uni-I/O™ module.
If the CPU-for-Panel is the only element that is plugged onto the back of the HMI Panel,
plug the Base unit into it.

1. Hold the Base Unit as shown in the accompanying
figure, and plug it into the I/O Expansion Jack in the
rear of the device.
Connecting the Adapter End Unit
1. Push the End Unit onto the DIN-rail until the clips located at the top and bottom of the
unit have snapped onto the DIN-rail.
2. Install Uni-I/O™ modules to the right of the End unit. Please refer to the specific
Installation Guide of each Uni-I/O™ module.
3. Slide the Bus Connector Lock of the first module all the way to the left.
Connecting the Cable
Short-range kit: Link the adapter’s units by
plugging the RJ45 of the End Unit’s cable into the
port at the bottom of the Base Unit.
Long-range kit: Connect both sides of the blue
cable to the RJ45 ports of the adapter’s Base and
End units. Please refer to the Long Range
Adapter Assembly Diagram, page 5 .
Connecting the Power Supply and Earth
If you are using a UAG-XKxxx, only earth it.
All other models: connect it to a power source as described on page 8.
Do not connect the cable to any device other than the Base Unit.
Do not connect the Base Unit’s cable port to any other cable or device.

Wiring
This equipment is designed to operate only at SELV/PELV/Class 2/Limited Power
environments.
All power supplies in the system must include double insulation. Power supply
outputs must be rated as SELV/PELV/Class 2/Limited Power.
Do not connect either the ‘Neutral’ or ‘Line’ signal of the 110/220VAC to device’s 0V
point.
Do not touch live wires.
All wiring activities should be performed while power is OFF.
Use over-current protection, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, to avoid excessive
currents into the UAG-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx, or UAG-
XKPLxxxx supply port.
Unused points should not be connected (unless otherwise specified). Ignoring this
directive may damage the device.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the power supply.
Caution
To avoid damaging the wire, use a maximum torque of 0.5 N·m (5 kgf·cm).
Do not use tin, solder, or any substance on stripped wire that might cause the
wire strand to break.
Install at maximum distance from high-voltage cables and power equipment.
Wiring Procedure
Use crimp terminals for wiring; use 26-12 AWG wire (0.13 mm2–3.31 mm2).
1. Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.250–0.300 inches).
2. Unscrew the terminal to its widest position before inserting a wire.
3. Insert the wire completely into the terminal to ensure a proper connection.
4. Tighten enough to keep the wire from pulling free.
Wiring Guidelines
In order to ensure that the device will operate properly and to avoid electromagnetic
interference:
Use a metal cabinet. Make sure the cabinet and its doors are properly earthed.
Use wires that are properly sized for the load.
Connect the 0V point of the UAG-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx, or
UAG-XKPLxxxx directly to the power supply 0V terminal.
Connect the functional ground point ( ) to the earth of the system (preferably to
the metal cabinet chassis).
Use the shortest and thickest wires possible: less than 1m (3.3’) in length,
minimum thickness 14 AWG (2 mm2).
Connect the power supply 0V to the earth of the system.
NOTE
For detailed information, refer to the document System Wiring Guidelines, located in
the Technical Library in the Unitronics’ website.

Wiring the Power Supply (UAG-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx,
or UAG-XKPLxxxx)
These end units require an external 12 or 24VDC power supply.
The 0V of these end units must be connected to the controller's 0V. Ignoring this
directive may damage the device.
In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-conformity to voltage power supply
specifications, connect the device to a regulated power supply.
Connect the +V and 0V terminals as shown in the
accompanying figure.
Removing the Expansion Adapter
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Remove the Power/Earth terminal block from the bottom of the End unit.
3. Disconnect the cable:
Short-Range: Unplug the cable from the RJ45 port on the Base Unit.
Long-Range: Unplug the blue cable from the RJ45 ports of the Base and the End
units.
4. To remove the Base unit:
UAG-XKPxxx, UAG-XKxxx, UAG-XKPLxxxx
Pull the top clip up and the bottom clip down, and pull the unit slowly away until
the plug disengages.
UAG-CX-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx, UAG-CX-XKPLxxxx
Pull the unit slowly away until the plug disengages.
5. To remove the End unit:
Locate the Bus connector lock of the Uni-I/O™ module connected to the End Unit
and slide it to the right.
Pull the End Unit’s top DIN-rail clip up and the bottom clip down.
Pull the End Unit out of its place (away from the DIN rail).
