URB-TCP2 Unitronics Uni. Remote IO Adapter 6 Modules
MPN: URB-TCP2
Alt. SKU: URBTCP2
Why Choose the Unitronics URB-TCP2 Remote I/O Ethernet Adapter?
The Unitronics URB-TCP2 is a compact Ethernet remote I/O adapter designed for the Unitronics UniStream PLC platform. It enables distributed automation architectures by allowing multiple I/O modules to be installed remotely and connected to the PLC through industrial Ethernet communication.
By locating input and output modules closer to field devices such as sensors, actuators and machine components, the URB-TCP2 helps reduce control cabinet wiring and simplifies machine installation. The adapter communicates using Ethernet-based protocols including Modbus TCP, making it suitable for modern automation networks and PLC systems.
The adapter supports expansion with up to six remote I/O modules directly connected to the adapter, enabling flexible distributed control solutions for machines and industrial processes.
