John_R Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hey All, I have a possible upgrade project coming up, replacing some old automation direct plc/touchscreen controls. my first plan was to use a V570 (or V700) and do my I/O expansion rack style so I can have the HMI in the panel door and put my I/O a couple foot away without re-routing (much) existing wiring. But, now I'm thinking of going UniLogic/UniStream, a bit overkill for the project, but would be my introduction into this product line. I've played around with UniLogic a bit but haven't yet built a real project. I've been going through the hardware aspect on Unitronics Website and think I got it figured out but thought I'd throw this out to the forum community to double check my thinking. the existing project consists of; 20 digital inputs (sinking) 18 relay outputs 10 analog in 2 analog out So going through the Uni-I/O list I come up with the following modules to cover my needs: (2) UID-W1616R to cover my digital ins and relay outs (1) UIA-0800N for 8 of my analog ins (1) UIA-0402N for 2 more analog in and 2 analog out then it looks like I need; (1) UAG-XK125 Uni-Local expansion adapter (1) USC-P-B10 CPU-for-Panel (1) USP-070-B08 HMI Panel Does this look correct, or am I missing something?

MVP 2022 Joe Tauser Posted May 31, 2019 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 That's cutting it awful close on analog I/O counts. You've picked modules that will work, but you've left yourself no room. I would keep your analog ins and outs separate - (2) UIA-0800N (1) UIA-0006N Room to grow. Any of these inputs thermocouples?
