Mounting the Module Connecting Modules
To mount the module on a 35mm DIN-rail, snap it squarely onto
the DIN-rail, as shown below.
To connect a module to the adapter or expansion module:
1.Push the module-to-module connector (1) into the port
(2) located on the right side of the module or adapter.
2.Push the protective cap (3) into the connector port of
the last module. The cap is supplied with the adapter.
Install the module in an upright position.
To ensure good ventilation, leave at least 50mm between the
device and all other objects above or below it.
Install at a maximum distance from high-voltage cables and
power equipment.

Connecting the Module to the PLC
Use the communication cable to connect the module’s PLC expansion port to the PLC.
Take care to connect the correct cable. The connectors of this cable are housed in yellow insulation. Note that one end is marked
To PLC and the other To Adapter; insert accordingly.
The module is supplied with a 1-meter cable, part number EXL-CAB100. Other cable lengths are also available.
Use only an original Unitronics cable and do not make any changes to it.
Wiring Considerations
Install an external circuit breaker. Guard against
short-circuiting in external wiring.
Do not connect unused pins. Ignoring this directive
may damage the device.
To avoid damaging wires, do not exceed a maximum
torque of 0.5 Nm (5 kgf·cm).
Use crimp terminals for wiring and use 26-12 AWG wire
(0.13mm2–3.31mm2).
Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.250–0.300”).
Do not route input cables together with output cables
through the same multi-core cable or wire.
Use wire that is correctly sized for the load. Allow for
voltage drop and noise interference with extended input
lines.
Note: Connect the adapter 0V and the I/O 0V to the same line.
Do not use tin, solder, or any substance on stripped
wire that might cause the wire strand to break.
Daisy Chaining
To facilitate wiring, you can wire the following pins in series (daisy chain). Use both pins provided for this purpose.
Input connector pin: n/p. Output connector pins: +V, 0V, C0. Power connector pins: +V, 0V.
Ensure that the total current drain on any single line does not exceed 10A. If a specific pin requires more than 10A, connect it with
a separate wire. The following diagram demonstrates the wiring options:
Wiring the Power Supply
Always connect the functional earth pin to the earth ground. Use a dedicated wire for this purpose; it must not exceed 1 meter.
A non-isolated power supply can be used provided that the 0V signal is connected to the earth ground.
Do not connect the neutral or line signal of the 110/220VAC to the device’s 0V pin.
In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-conformity to voltage power supply specifications, connect the device to a regulated
power supply.

Wiring Inputs
The following diagram shows the input connectors with pin numbers and corresponding input numbers.
Wiring Digital Inputs
Inputs may be wired as either pnp (positive logic) or npn (negative logic).
Inputs 36 and 38 can function as high-speed counters, frequency measurers, or general purpose digital inputs (set in software).
Inputs 37 and 39 can function either as counter reset inputs or general purpose digital inputs (set in software).
For information on connecting RG pins, refer to Connecting RG Pins.
pnp (positive logic) inputs 32-39 pnp (positive logic) inputs 40-47
npn (negative logic) inputs 32-39 npn (negative logic) inputs 40-47
Wiring Analog Inputs
The following diagram shows the 2-wire and 4-wire current connection.
Use shielded twisted pair cable.
Connect shields to the earth ground at the signal’s source.

Connecting RG Pins
For correct operation of digital and analog inputs and for EMI immunity, connect the RG pin of all the expansion modules
containing RG signals to the adapter module 0V signal.
The overall length of the wire connecting the RG pins to the adapter 0V signal must be less than 3 meters.
Connect the RG pins in series (daisy chain). To facilitate this, use both the RG pins.
Wiring Outputs
The following diagram shows the output connector with pin numbers and corresponding output numbers.
Wiring the Output Power Supply
A non-isolated power supply can be used provided that the 0V signal is connected to the earth ground.
Do not connect the neutral or line signal of the 110/220VAC to the device’s 0V pin.
In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-conformity to voltage power supply specifications, connect the device to a regulated
power supply.
Wiring Relay Outputs
Increasing Contact Life Span
To increase the life span of the relay contacts and protect against potential damage by reverse EMF, connect one of the following:
A clamping diode in parallel with each inductive DC load.
An RC snubber circuit in parallel with each inductive AC load.
