Description
EX-RC1 allows for remote expansion of Unitronics products via CANbus, 12/24VDC
Programmed using Visilogic software, a simple way to add additional Inputs and Outputs to your system. Compatible with standard DIN rail-mounted Vision IO modules. Comes with full technical support and training for our customers. Contact us if you need more information.
The EX-RC1 interfaces between Unitronics Vision OPLCs and remote IO Expansion Modules distributed throughout your system. The adapter is connected to a PLC via CANbus. Each adapter may be connected to up to 8 I/O Expansion Modules. The network may comprise up to 60 nodes, including both PLCs and adapters; note that the PLC must comprise a CANbus port. Communication is via UniCAN, Unitronics’ proprietary CANbus protocol.
The EX-RC1 is run by a factory-installed application. The adapter can auto-detect digital IO Expansion Modules. If the system includes analogue modules, the application must be edited. For more information, refer to the Remote I/O topics in the VisiLogic Help system.
The EX-RC1 may either be mounted on a DIN rail or screw-mounted onto a mounting plate.
