UniStream Connecting to remote I/O

You can include Remote I/Os in your application via the EX-RC1 adapter or the EXF-RC15, using files that are ported between VisiLogic and UniLogic. The EX-RC1 adapter enables you to distribute I/O Expansion Modules throughout your system. The adapter communicates with UniStream devices over CANbus via UniCAN, Unitronics’ proprietary CANbus protocol, and functions as a slave device within that network. Up to 8 EX-RC1 adapters can be included in a project. Each adapter may be connected to up to 8 I/O expansion modules. The EXF-RC15 is a stand-alone module with high-speed I/Os. It offers 9 digital inputs, 4 digital transistor outputs, and 2 relay outputs. Three inputs can be set via wiring and software to function as high-speed counters/shaft-encoders. The four transistor outputs may function as high-speed PWM/PTO outputs. You can communicate two kinds of data between UniStream and the EX-RC1 adapter. I/O Data: to/from the modules that are connected to the adapter. General Buffer Data: Select this option to send/receive a 16-register long vector of data. These vectors are part of the data struct that UniLogic creates for each adapter that is included in the project.
