Installation
▪ Turn off system power before connecting or disconnecting any modules or devices.
▪ Use proper precautions to prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).
NOTE The DIN-rail type structure on the back of the panel provides the physical support for the Uni-I/O™
module.
1. Check the unit to which you will connect the Uni-I/O™ module to verify that its Bus Connector is not
covered.
If the Uni-I/O™ module is to be the last one in the configuration, do not remove the cover of its I/O Bus
Connector - Right.
5. Slide the Bus Connector Lock all the way to the left as
shown in the accompanying figure.
6. If there is already a module located to its right,
complete the connection by sliding the Bus Connector
lock of the adjacent unit to the left.
7. If the module is the last in the configuration, leave the
I/O bus connector covered.
Removing a Module
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Disconnect the I/O terminals (#2,3,7,8 in the diagram).
3. Disconnect the Uni-I/O™ module from the adjacent units: slide its Bus Connector Lock to the right. If
there is a unit located on its right, slide the lock of this module to the right as well.
4. On the Uni-I/O™ module, pull the top DIN-rail clip up and the bottom clip down.
5. Open the door of the Uni-I/O™ module and hold it with two fingers as shown in the figure on page 3;
then pull it carefully from its place.

Numbering Modules
You can number modules for reference purposes. A set of 20 stickers is provided with every CPU-for-
Panel; use these stickers to number the modules.

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.
▪ Route each I/O signal with its own dedicated common wire. Connect common wires at their respective
common (CM) points at the I/O module.
▪ Individually connect each 0V point in the system to the power supply 0V terminal.
▪ Individually connect each functional earth 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.

The relay outputs require an external 24VDC power supply. Connect the 24V and 0V terminals as shown
in the figure below.
▪ To avoid risk of fire or property damage, always use a limited current source or connect a current
limiting device in series with the relay contacts.
▪ The 0V of the module must be connected to the HMI Panel’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 module to a regulated power supply.
