-The Unipi Extension modules are based on the basic Neuron S103 unit, the Raspberry Pi computer is however replaced by an additional I/O group. ​The Extension line is designed as a simple and cheap method of automation systems expansion by adding more I/Os without the need to purchase new controllers. Extension modules are communicating with the PLC over the RS485 serial line and albeit they are designed primarily for the use with Neuron controllers,​ **they can be used in combination with any PLC supporting the RS485 serial line and Modbus protocol.** That makes the xS-line an excellent choice for cases where other PLC manufacturers either do not offer their native extension, or their purchase would be cost-ineffective.<​hidden>​+The Extension line is designed as a simple and cheap method of automation systems expansion by adding more I/Os without the need to purchase new controllers.
