UniStream™ CPU-for-Panel

Installation Guide
USC-P-B10

Unitronics’ UniStream™ platform comprises control devices that provide rob us t, flexi b le
solutions for industrial automation.

This guide provides basic ins tallation information for the UniStream™ CPU-for-Panel.

Technical specific ations may be downloaded from the Unitronics website .

The UniStream™ platform
comprises CPU controller s , HMI
panels, and local I/O modules
that snap together to form an
all-in-one Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC).

Expand the I/O configuration
using a Local Expansio n Kit or
remotely via CANbus.

CPU-for-Panel CPUs are Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), the heart of the

UniStream™ platform.
The CPU-for-Panel cannot operate independently. It must be plugged

into the back of a UniStream™ HMI panel. The pane l provid e s the C PU ’s
power source. The CPU-for-Panel co mpr i ses:

 IO/COM Bus connector for interfacing Uni-I/O™ & Uni-COM™ modules
 Isolated RS485 and CANbus ports
 Backup battery

HMI Panels

Available in
different
dimensions

A high-resolution touc h screen pro vides the operator interface for the
system and the physical foundation fo r a PLC+ HMI+I/Os all-in-one
controller.

The DIN-rail struc tur e on the panel’ s back is des igned to phys ic ally
support a CPU-for-Panel co ntro ll e r , U ni-I/O™ and/or Uni-COM™
modules.

Each panel comprises:

 AUX connector to support the CPU
 1 audio-out 3.5mm jack
 1 microSD slot
 2 type A, USB host ports and 1 Mini-B USB device port
 2 Ethernet ports, RJ45, 10/100 Mbps
 1 power input connector, 12/24 VDC

I/O Options Integrate I/Os into your system by using:

 On-board I/Os: snap onto the panel for an all-in-one configuration
 Local I/O via a Local Expans i on Kit
 Remote I/O via EX-RC1
