Unitronics 

IO-DI8-RO8, IO-DI8-RO8-L  

 I/O Expansion Modules  8 Inputs, 8 Outputs

The IO-DI8-RO8 and IO-DI8-RO8-L are I/O 
expansion modules that can be used in 
conjunction with specific Unitronics OPLC 
controllers. 
The modules are identical except for their 
voltage specifications: IO-DI8-RO8 runs at 
24 VDC; IO-DI8-RO8-L at 12 VDC. 
Both modules offer 8 digital inputs, type 
pnp/npn (source/sink), and 8 relay outputs. 
The interface between a module and the 
OPLC is provided by an adapter. 
These modules may either be snap-
mounted on a DIN rail, or screw-mounted 
onto a mounting plate.
