Remote I/O (RIO)

Overview

There are the following types of Quantum RIO Modules:

RIO Heads:
- 140 CRP 931 00
- 140 CRP 932 00
RIO Drops:
- 140 CRA 931 00
- 140 CRA 932 00

They use an S908-based networking I/O configuration. Communication is done via single or dual coaxial cabling up to 15,000 feet away. This configuration supports a mix of the following product lines:

SY/MAX
800 Series
Quantum I/O

When Quantum RIO is required, the Quantum controller may support up to 31 RIO drops. In an RIO configuration, an RIO head module is connected with coaxial cable to RIO drop modules at each remote drop.

NOTE: In a single-cable configuration, it is recommended to connect the cable in channel A on both Local I/O (CRP) and Remote I/O (CRA).

NOTE: In a dual-cable configuration, it is mandatory to connect channel A from Local I/O (CRP) with channel A from Remote I/O (CRA) and channel B from Local I/O (CRP) with channel B from Remote I/O (CRA).
