Uni-I/O™ Wide 
Modules 

Installation Guide 
UIS-WCB1 

 

Uni-I/O™ Wide is a family of Input/Output modules that are compatible with the 

UniStream™ control platform. Wide Modules are 1.5 times as wide as Uni-I/O™ modules, 

and comprise more I/O points in less space. 

This guide provides basic installation information for UIS-WCB1 Uni-I/O™ module.  

Technical specifications may be downloaded from the Unitronics website. 

The UniStream™ platform 

comprises CPU controllers, HMI 

panels, and local I/O modules  

that snap together to form an  

all-in-one Programmable Logic 
Controller (PLC).  
Install Uni-I/O™ modules: 

 

Onto the back of any 

UniStream™ HMI Panel 

comprising a CPU-for-Panel. 

 

Onto a DIN-rail, using a  
Local Expansion Kit. 

 

 

The maximum number of Uni-I/O™ Wide modules that can be connected to a single CPU 

controller is limited. For details, please refer to the specification sheets of the 

UniStream™ CPU or any of the relevant Local Expansion Kits. 

Before You Begin 

 

Before installing the device, the installer must: 

 

Read and understand this document. 

 

Verify the Kit Contents.  

Installation option requirements 

If you are installing a Uni-I/O™ module onto: 

 

A UniStream™ HMI Panel; the Panel must comprise a CPU-for-Panel, installed according 

to the CPU-for-Panel installation guide. 

 

A DIN-rail; you must use a Local Expansion Kit, available by separate order, to integrate 
the Uni-I/O™ modules on the DIN-rail into a UniStream™ control system.
