More Devices, Machine Mountable, and No Learning Curve

RSio Remote Safe I/O

Banner’s RSio Remote Safety I/O block brings In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) and six independently configurable hybrid I/O ports to CIP Safety™ systems. Two outputs provide control signals for final switching devices, safety-rated devices, or non-safety devices. Six inputs each support up to 32 ISD-enabled devices with device-level diagnostics for faster troubleshooting and expanded PLe/SIL3 safety coverage. RSio is configured entirely in Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000® via an included Add-On Profile EDS file with user-selectable port presets that simplify safety device integration.

  • Six independently configurable hybrid I/O ports support safety-rated or standard devices, giving more flexibility in how each port is used
  • Inputs support dry contacts or solid-state safety devices, In-Series Diagnostics (ISD), and standard control signals; outputs support both safety-rated and standard devices
  • Setup directly in Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000® streamlines integration into CIP Safety™ systems with no extra software needed
  • User-selectable port presets for common safety devices, such as e-stops, light curtains, and safety switches, are included in Banner’s Add-On Profile (AOP) EDS file to simplify setup
  • Six inputs each support up to 32 ISD-enabled safety devices, up to 192 devices on a single RSio, enabling device-level diagnostics for faster troubleshooting while minimizing wiring and providing safety coverage up to Cat 4 PLe/SIL3
  • Select from models with either Mini power (up to 10 A pass-through) or M12 L-Code power (up to 16 A pass-through), with the same M12 A-Code I/O ports and core functionality on both models
  • Enable or disable test pulses independently on inputs and outputs to match device and application requirements
  • Increase installation flexibility with IP67-rated, machine-mountable safe I/O that reduces wiring and cabinet size

RSio Remote Safe I/O

Familiar Software

Seamless Integration into Studio 5000®

RSio configures entirely in Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000®, the same software environment used with GuardLogix® safety PLCs, making it easy to take advantage of hybrid I/O and Banner’s In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) technology without requiring additional software.

User-Selectable Port Presets

Configure Safety Solutions Faster

A Banner-provided Add-On Profile (AOP) EDS file, imported into Studio 5000®, streamlines setup and includes user-selectable presets that make it much faster and easier to integrate common safety devices than the standard, tedious configuration procedure.

Configurable I/O

Create Complete Solutions on One Block

Banner’s RSio Remote Safety I/O block provides six independently configurable hybrid I/O inputs and two configurable outputs that support safety-rated or standard devices, giving controls engineers flexibility in how each port is used. Inputs support dry-contact or solid-state safety devices, In-Series Diagnostics (ISD), and standard control signals. The two configurable outputs provide control signals for final switching devices, safety-rated devices, or non-safety devices, with ON/OFF readback.

Connect More Devices with Less Wiring

In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) makes it possible for each RSio input to connect up to 32 ISD-enabled safety devices, or safety devices brought in through ISD Connect, in a daisy-chain while providing diagnostic data for each individual device. ISD chains use plug-and-play M12 T-connectors and cabling, with the ISD protocol traveling over the same wiring as the OSSD signals, providing continuous device status and clear identification of which device in the chain causes a stop. 

RSio supports a mix of ISD and non-ISD devices across its six inputs. Each input can monitor either a single safety device directly or an ISD chain of up to 32 devices—192 devices total across one RSio.

Ethernet Passthrough

Extend Distributed I/O with Network Flexibility

RSio includes an integrated dual-port Ethernet switch for pass-through networking, allowing multiple RSio Remote Safe I/O blocks to be connected in daisy-chain, star, a combination of daisy-chain and star, or DLR ring network topologies without consuming external switch ports.

Power Passthrough

Power Downstream Devices

RSio is available in two model options that provide either M12 L-Code power connectors rated for up to 16 amps of pass-through, or with Mini power connectors rated for up to 10 amps of pass-through capacity for powering the module and downstream devices.
