EX-RC1 User Guide
Remote I/O Adapter
The EX-RC1 interfaces between Unitronics Vision OPLCs and remote I/O 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 I/O Expansion
Modules. If the system includes analog 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 snap-mounted
on a DIN rail, or screw-mounted onto a
mounting plate.

Connecting Expansion Modules
An adapter provides the interface between the OPLC and an expansion module. To connect the I/O module to
the adapter or to another module:
1. Push the module-to-module connector into the port located on the right side of the device.
Note that there is a protective cap provided with the adapter. This cap covers the port of the final
I/O module in the system.
To avoid damaging the system, do not connect or disconnect the device when the
power is on.

Wiring
Do not touch live wires.
Unused pins should not be connected. Ignoring this directive may damage the device.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the power supply.
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.
Double-check all the wiring before turning on the power supply.
Wiring Procedures
Use crimp terminals for wiring; use 26-14 AWG wire (0.13 mm 23.31 mm2) for all wiring purposes.
1. Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.2500.2.08 inches).
2. Unscrew the terminal to its widest position before inserting a wire.
3. Insert the wire completely into the terminal to ensure that a proper connection can be made.
4. Tighten enough to keep the wire from pulling free.
To avoid damaging the wire, do not exceed a maximum torque of 0.5 N·m (5 kgf·cm).
Do not use tin, solder, or any other substance on stripped wire that might cause the wire strand to break.
Install at maximum distance from high-voltage cables and power equipment.

Wiring Power Supply
Connect the "positive" cable to the "+V" terminal, and the “negative” to the "0V" terminal.
Earthing the Power Supply
To maximize system performance, avoid electromagnetic interference by:
Mounting the module on a metal panel.
Earthing the modules power supply: connect one end of a 14 AWG wire to the chassis signal;
connect the other end to the panel.
Note: If possible, the wire used to earth the power supply should not exceed 10 cm in length. However, it is
recommended to earth the module in all cases.
