Galil’s new RIO-471×0 series are intelligent input and output controllers designed for Ethernet. The controllers take advantage of the industry standard Modbus protocol to communicate with multiple devices including PLCs and Galil’s Ethernet motion controllers. Its fast RISC processor allows programming with Galil’s easy-to-use, two-letter command language or Galil’s ladder language software.
Each compact RIO-471×0 is self contained with numerous analog and digital I/O points. Multiple RIO-471×0 units can be distributed on an Ethernet network, allowing I/O expansion.
The RIO-471×0 is fully programmable, making it much more than a remote I/O slave. With concurrent execution of up to four application programs, closed-loop PID control of analog process control loops, and the capability to control other devices as a Modbus master, the RIO-471×0 series brings Galil’s expertise in rapid and cost-effective development of motion control systems to the machine control world.
Standard features include:
- 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port
- RS232 port configurable for 115 or 19.2 kbaud
