Banner Engineering RSio Remote Safe I/O

Banner Engineering RSio Remote Safe I/O

The RSio Remote Safe I/O block expands Banner Engineering’s safety portfolio by integrating In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) directly into CIP Safety™ systems. Featuring six independently configurable hybrid I/O ports and two configurable outputs, RSio supports both safety-rated and standard devices on a single block. Setup is handled entirely in Studio 5000® using a Banner-provided Add-On Profile with preset configurations for common safety devices—simplifying integration while extending Cat 4 PLe/SIL3 safety coverage and reducing panel space and wiring.

FEATURES:

  • Hybrid safe and standard I/O with six independently configurable ports on one block.
  • Supports up to 32 ISD-enabled devices per input (192 devices total) with device-level diagnostics.
  • Native configuration in Rockwell Automation Studio 5000®; no additional software required.
  • Add-On Profile (AOP) with user-selectable presets for e-stops, light curtains, and safety switches.
  • Two configurable outputs for safety-rated or standard final switching devices with ON/OFF readback.
  • Integrated dual-port Ethernet switch supports daisy-chain, star, DLR, and hybrid network topologies.
  • IP67-rated, machine-mountable design reduces wiring, cabinet size, and installation time.
  • Available with Mini power (10 A) or M12 L-Code power (16 A) pass-through options.
