IO-LC3 – Unitronics 3 Loadcells,2 output exp. module
MPN: IO-LC3
Alt. SKU: IOLC3
Why Choose the Unitronics IO-LC3 Local I/O Adapter?
The Unitronics IO-LC3 is a local I/O expansion adapter designed to connect multiple Unitronics Vision series I/O modules to a PLC controller. It enables automation engineers to expand control systems by integrating additional digital, analogue and specialised I/O modules while maintaining reliable communication with the PLC.
Acting as the interface between the PLC and connected expansion modules, the IO-LC3 manages communication and system architecture for local expansion I/O. This allows scalable automation designs where additional sensors, actuators and field devices can be integrated without replacing the primary controller.
The adapter is designed for installation within industrial control cabinets and mounts onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its compact design and robust construction make it suitable for machine automation, process control and manufacturing systems requiring flexible PLC expansion.
