Why Choose the Unitronics UAG-CX-XKPL1500 Long-Range I/O Expansion Adapter Kit?
The Unitronics UAG-CX-XKPL1500 is a long-range local I/O expansion adapter kit designed specifically for UniStream Built-in PLC controllers. As part of the advanced Uni-I/O expansion system, it enables controllers equipped with an I/O Expansion Jack to connect to additional rows of Uni-I/O modules located in remote control panels or separate machine sections, providing maximum flexibility for large-scale automation projects.
Designed for machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers, the UAG-CX-XKPL1500 includes an integrated power supply and a 15 metre expansion cable, allowing reliable communication and power distribution between the controller and remotely installed I/O modules. This makes it particularly suitable for distributed control architectures where I/O equipment must be positioned significant distances from the PLC.
The kit comprises a base unit, an end unit and a connecting cable. The integrated power supply supports up to 16 Uni-I/O modules, while multiple expansion adapters can be daisy-chained to create highly scalable automation systems without compromising communication performance.

Long-Range Expansion for Distributed Automation Systems
The UAG-CX-XKPL1500 enables UniStream controllers to communicate with remote I/O assemblies located up to 15 metres away. This allows engineers to position I/O modules in separate cabinets or machine sections while maintaining fast local communication and reducing complex field wiring.
Its integrated power supply supports up to 16 connected modules independently of the controller, helping create highly scalable automation systems. Up to five local expansion adapters may be daisy-chained together, allowing substantial I/O expansion across large industrial installations.
