OverviewBanner's RSio Remote Safe I/O block delivers In‑Series Diagnostics (ISD) and six independently configurable hybrid I/O ports for integration into CIP Safety™ systems. Two configurable outputs provide control signals for final switching devices, safety‑rated devices or standard control elements. RSio is configured in Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000® via the included Add‑On Profile (AOP) EDS file.
Key Features- Six independently configurable hybrid I/O ports supporting safety‑rated or standard devices for flexible port use
- Inputs accept dry contacts or solid‑state safety devices, support ISD chains and standard control signals
- Two configurable outputs for final switching; outputs provide ON/OFF status readback
- Each input supports up to 32 ISD‑enabled devices (daisy‑chained), enabling up to 192 devices per RSio and device‑level diagnostics for faster troubleshooting
- User‑selectable port presets for common safety devices (e‑stops, light curtains, safety switches) included in Banner's AOP/EDS file to simplify setup
- Power options: Mini power models (pass‑through up to 10 A) or M12 L‑Code power models (pass‑through up to 16 A) using the same M12 A‑Code I/O ports and core functionality
- Independent enable/disable of test pulses on inputs and outputs to match device and application requirements
- Machine‑mountable IP67 housing reduces wiring and cabinet space
Integration & ConfigurationConfigured entirely in Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000® (Logix Designer / GuardLogix environment) using Banner's included Add‑On Profile (EDS) file and user‑selectable port presets. This streamlines integration into CIP Safety™ systems and eliminates the need for additional configuration software.
Benefits- Reduce wiring and cabinet requirements with machine‑mountable IP67 safe I/O
- Faster troubleshooting with device‑level diagnostics from ISD chains
- Flexible system design: mix safety and non‑safety devices on the same block
- Simplified setup and faster commissioning via Studio 5000® AOP/EDS presets
