UniStream® Technical Specifications
UAG-XKxxx, UAG-XKPxxx, UAG-CX-XKPxxx, UAG-XKPLxxxx
This guide provides specifications for Unitronics' Short Range and Long Range Local Expansion Adapter Kit for Uni-I/O™.
The Short and Long Range Local Expansion Adapter Kits allow you to increase the number of I/Os connected to a single UniStream™ by linking it to an additional row of Uni-I/O™ modules.
All Local Expansion Adapter Kits comprise a Base unit, an End unit, and a connecting cable.
Note that there are two adapter series:
UAG-XK
Compatible with UniStream® controller panels that comprise a DIN-rail type structure on the panel rear. The Base unit of a UAG-XK series adapter snaps onto it.
UAG-CX
Compatible with UniStream® controllers that comprise an I/O Expansion Jack. The base unit of UAG-CK series adapter plugs into it.
Adapter Models
| Model | Install via | Integrated Power Supply | Number of supported modules |
|---|
UAG-XKxxx | Panel (DIN-rail structure) | No | 8, including modules installed on the panel |
UAG-XKPxxx | | Yes | 16, in addition to any modules installed on the panel |
UAG-XKPLxxx | | Yes | |
UAG-CX-XKPxxx | Controller (Jack) | Yes | 16 |
Power Supply
UniStream controller panels + CPU-for-Panel can supply power to a maximum of 8 modules, Uni-I/O™ and/or Uni-COM™, with power. 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 snapped onto the panel, 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 mounted on the panel.
Installation Guides are available in the Unitronics Technical Library at www.unitronics.com.
Module Support
UniStream™ panels comprising a DIN-rail structure on the panel rear (compatible with UAG-XK)
The number of modules in the next table includes:
- Modules that may be snapped to the rear of the panel
- Modules linked to the CPU via a Local Expansion Adapter Kit (Uni-I/O modules only).
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.
- The Base Unit must be plugged 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.
Important Note:
The Base and End Units of the Short-range and Long-range models look similar but are not interchangeable; do not mix between them.
UniStream™ controllers that comprise an I/O Expansion Jack (compatible with UAG-CX)
The number of modules in the next table refers only to the modules connected to the adaptor.
These controllers lack the DIN-rail structure, and cannot be installed with Uni-COM or Uni-I/O.

Daisy-Chaining: Extending and Expanding I/Os
Up to five Local Expansion Adapters may be chained to each other. The maximum number of I/O modules that can be connected to a single controller is:
- 85, for UniStream panel + CPU-for-Panel. This includes modules snapped to the panel's rear.
- 80, for UniStream™ controllers with I/O Expansion Jack.
UniStream can be expanded locally in a single cabinet, using Short range Adapters of up to 3 meters each (UAG-XKxxxx, UAG-XKPxxxx and UAG-CX-XKPxxxx).
It can also be expanded further to another cabinet, using the Long Range Expansion Adapter (UAG-XKLxxxx).
Daisy-chaining Rules
In order to connect a UniStream™ controller to more than one row of I/O modules via Local I/O Expansion adapters, the following rules must be followed:
UniStream™ comprising a DIN-rail structure (compatible with UAG-XK)
- Up to 2 Short-range adapters can be daisy-chained to the CPU-for-Panel or to any of the modules that are connected directly to the CPU on the back of the HMI Panel. These may be either two
UAG-XKPxxxx (that include an integrated power-supply), or one UAG-XKPxxxx and one UAG-XKxxxx. - When daisy chaining, only 1 Long-range adapter can be included. It may be connected directly to the CPU-for-Panel or to any of the elements that are expanded from it.
UniStream™ controllers comprising an I/O Expansion Jack (compatible with UAG-CX)
- Up to 2 Short-range adapters can be daisy-chained to the controller. A
UAG-CX-XKPxxx must be plugged into the jack, and may be followed by a UAG-XKPxxxx or one UAG-XKxxxx.
UniStream™ controllers of both series
- Since long range adaptors have integrated power supplies, any Long-range adapter may be followed by daisy-chaining up to 2 Short range adapters. These may be either two
UAG-XKPxxxx, or one UAG-XKPxxxx and one UAG-XKxxxx.
Configuration Examples
Notes:
- All examples use the
USP-104-B10 10.4″ HMI panel. - The amount of modules in all examples relate to Uni-I/O modules. Uni-I/O modules can be mixed with Uni-I/O Wide modules, considering that 1 Uni-I/O Wide module equals 1½ Uni-I/O module.
Configuring for maximum I/Os
The maximum number of I/O modules that can be connected to a single UniStream™ controller using Uni-I/O modules and 5 Local I/O Expansion adapters with power supplies is achieved by chaining: CPU I/O → UAG-XKPxxxx (up to 5 units) → UAG-XKPxxxx (up to 16 units) → UAG-XKPxxxx (up to 16 units) → UAG-XKL (Long-range Kit) → UAG-XKPxxxx (up to 16 units) → UAG-XKPxxxx (up to 16 units).
Configurations with Short-range adapter, no Power Supply (UAG-XKxxxx)
If UAG-XKxxxx is the only adapter connected to the controller, the system can support up to 8 modules. This configuration is: CPU I/O → UAG-XKxxxx (up to 5 units) → UAG-XKxxxx (up to 8 units).
If a UAG-XKxxxx follows another adapter with an integrated power supply, the support capacity of that powered module limits the number of Uni-I/Os that can be connected to the UAG-XKxxxx; in any event, no more than 8 Uni-I/Os can follow a UAG-XKxxxx adapter. This configuration is: UAG-XKPxxx / UAG-CX-XKPxxx / UAG-XKLxxxx (up to 16 units) → UAG-XKxxxx (up to 8 units).
