Installing the RIO Board
Installation of a complete, operational RIO system consists of 4 steps:
Step 1. Configure jumpers
Step 2. Connect power to the RIO
Step 3. Install the communications software
Step 4. Establish communications between the RIO and the host PC
Step 1. Configure Jumpers
Power Input Jumpers (EXT/AUX vs PoE)
The RIO can be powered using either an external DC power input or a PoE (Power over Ethernet)
switch to deliver power over the Ethernet cable. By default, the RIO is expecting the use of an
external power supply and four jumpers are placed on either the “EXT” or “AUX” pins depending on
the RIO model. If PoE is desired instead, move the
four
jumpers from the pins labeled “EXT/AUX” to
the pins labeled “PoE.” A full description of the “PoE” and “AUX/EXT” jumpers are in the Appendix
listed under Jumper Descriptions.
Not all RIO models have the PoE option. For more information PoE options and which DC power
supply is appropriate for your model, continue to Step 2. Connect Power to the RIO.
Master Reset and Upgrade Jumper
The MRST jumper is for a master reset. When MRST is jumped, the RIO will perform a master reset
either when the board reset button is pressed or the controller is power cycled. Whenever the I/O
board has a master reset, all parameters, programs, arrays, and variables stored in non-volatile
memory will be erased–
this will set the RIO board back to factory defaults
.
The UPGD jumper enables the user to unconditionally update the board firmware. This jumper is not
necessary for firmware updates when the RIO board is operating normally, but may be necessary in
cases of a corrupted non-volatile memory. non-volatile memory corruption should never occur under
normal operating circumstances; however, corruption is possible if there is a power fault during a
firmware update.
If non-volatile memory corruption occurs, your board may not operate properly. In this case, install
the UPGD jumper, connect over RS232, and use the update firmware function in the Galil software to
re-load the system firmware.
The location for the jumpers are in the Appendix listed under Jumper Descriptions.
Setting the Baud Rate on the RIO
The default baud rate for the RIO is 115K (jumper OFF).
The jumper labeled “19.2,” allows the user to select the serial communication baud rate. The baud
rate can be set using the following table:
19.2
BAUD RATE
OFF
115k
ON
19.2k
The location for the jumpers are in the Appendix listed under Jumper Descriptions.
