Chapter 1 Overview
Introduction
Derived from the same fundamentals used in building Galil motion controllers, the RIO-47xxx is a
programmable remote I/O controller that conveniently interfaces with other Galil boards through its
Ethernet port. The RIO is programmed exactly the same way as a DMC (Digital Motion Controller) with
the exception of a few revised commands and the removal of all motion-related commands.
Communication with the RIO even works the same way as with other Galil controllers, and it utilizes the
same software programs. Interrogation commands have been included to allow a user to instantly view
the entire I/O status, I/O hardware, or Ethernet handle availability (see the
and
The purpose of an RIO board is to offer remote I/O for a system and to provide the ability to synchronize
complex events. To do this, the RIO consists of two boards – a high speed processor with integrated
Ethernet and an I/O board consisting of digital inputs, digital outputs, analog inputs and analog outputs. If
different I/O requirements are required –a custom I/O board can be made to mate up directly with the
RIO processor.
