Why Choose the Unitronics URB-TCP Ethernet Remote I/O Adapter?

The Unitronics URB-TCP is a high-performance Ethernet Remote I/O Adapter designed to extend UniStream automation systems through distributed I/O architecture. As part of the advanced Unitronics URB Remote I/O platform, the URB-TCP enables remote installation of I/O modules over industrial Ethernet networks, helping reduce wiring complexity, lower installation costs and improve system scalability.

Designed specifically for Unitronics UniStream controllers, the URB-TCP acts as the communication gateway between the PLC and remote URB I/O modules. Its Ethernet-based architecture provides fast and reliable communication while allowing I/O to be located closer to sensors, actuators and field devices throughout industrial facilities.

Supporting up to 63 URB Remote I/O modules per adapter, the URB-TCP provides a flexible and scalable solution for machine builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial automation engineers. Dual Ethernet ports allow daisy-chain networking and simplified system expansion for demanding industrial applications.
