Remote IO Module (Ethernet Version)
For applications that require a large number of Inputs and Outputs, a PreciseFlex Remote IO (RIO)
module (Figure 2-9) may be purchased. The RIO interfaces to any PreciseFlex robot and its
embedded Guidance Controller via 10/100 Mb Ethernet and requires 24 VDC power. Up to 4 RIOs
can be connected to a controller.
The basic RIO includes: 32 isolated digital input signals, 32 isolated digital output signals and one
RS-232 serial line. An enhanced version of the RIO adds 4 analog input signals, a second RS-232
port and one RS-422/485 serial port.The Enhanced RIO module is pictured in Figure 2-9.
Electrical Shock
The RIO contains unshielded 24 VDC signals and pins. This product is intended to be
mounted in a cabinet or machine chassis that is not accessible when power is turned on.
