RSio Remote Safety I/O Block

Banner Engineering I/O blocks can connect many safety devices, are machine mountable, and have no learning curve

Image of Banner Engineering RSio Remote Safety I/O BlockThe Banner Engineering 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 the Studio 5000® from Rockwell Automation via an included add-on profile EDS file with user-selectable port presets that simplify safety device integration.

Features
  • 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, ISD, and standard control signals; outputs support both safety-rated and standard devices
  • Setup directly in the 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 the 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
