RSio Remote Safe I/O
More Devices, Machine Mountable, and No Learning Curve
The new RSio is a remote safe I/O block that brings Banner’s In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) technology into CIP Safety™ systems, providing eight ports of hybrid I/O that are each independently configurable for safety-rated or standard devices. RSio is configured directly in Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000®, without any additional software needed, thanks to an included Add-On Profile (AOP) EDS file that also includes user-selectable port presets that simplify integration of common safety devices. Two configurable outputs provide control signals for final switching devices, safety-rated devices, or non-safety devices. Six inputs support up to 32 ISD-enabled devices per input and deliver device-level diagnostics for faster troubleshooting, expanding PLe/SIL3 safety coverage.
