RS-485 Remote IO Module (GIO)
Customers who need additional digital IO may order the RS-485 Remote IO Module. This module
installs in the base of the robot and provides 12 Digital Inputs and 8 Digital Outputs in a 25 pin Dsub
connector. The RS-485 Remote IO Module (GIO) provides 12 general purpose optically isolated
digital input signals and 8 general purpose optically isolated digital output signals. Two inputs, 11
and 12, can be optionally configured as analog inputs by means of jumpers J1 and J2. Connecting
J1 to pins 1 and 2 (default) configures these inputs as digital and connecting pins 2 and 3 configures
them as analog (if the analog option has been ordered). These input and output signals are
intended for interfacing to tooling and sensors or for general application needs. This board is
connected to the controller by an RS-485 serial line that allows the controller to scan the GIO I/O
with a nominal period of 4 milliseconds.
The DIO signals are accessible via the DB25 female connector that is mounted on the facilities
panel when this option is ordered. The DIO signals addresses are determined by a base address
set by a DIP switch on the DIO board. For the PF400 robot without the linear axis option the DIO
option is located at the robot connector panel and for both this location and also for the location at
the end of the optional linear axis, all the address jumpers will NOT be installed, which sets the
address of this module to "8." This address avoids conflicts with other RS-485 network controllers
for the gripper and optional linear axis. See Installing the Optional GIO Board for details on installing
this module.
Ethernet Interface
PreciseFlex robots include an Ethernet switch that implements two 10/100 Mbit Ethernet ports. This
capability was designed to permit the controller to be interfaced to multiple Ethernet devices such as
other PreciseFlex controllers or robots, remote I/O units and Ethernet cameras. The Ethernet switch
