RSio Remote Safety I/O Block

Banner Engineering blocks are designed with expandable CIP Safety™ I/O with in-series diagnostics (ISD) for seamless Studio 5000®

Image of Banner Engineering RSio Remote Safety I/O BlockThe Banner Engineering RSio remote safety I/O block is a rugged, IP67-rated solution designed to simplify safety system architecture by moving I/O out of the control cabinet and onto the machine. It features six independently configurable hybrid safety inputs and two configurable safety outputs, providing unparalleled flexibility for system engineers. By supporting EtherNet/IP™ and CIP Safety, the RSio integrates directly into the Rockwell Automation environment, allowing for configuration entirely within Studio 5000 without the need for additional proprietary software.

A standout capability of the RSio is its support for ISD. This allows users to daisy-chain up to 32 ISD-enabled safety devices per input, up to 192 devices total on a single block, while maintaining the highest safety ratings (Cat 4/PLe). This smart wiring approach significantly reduces cabling costs and installation time while providing granular, device-level diagnostic data to identify the exact cause of a machine stop, drastically reducing downtime.

Features
  • Seamless integration: fully compatible with CIP Safety; configured directly in Studio 5000 using an included EDS file
  • ISD: supports up to 32 devices per input for advanced troubleshooting and reduced wiring
  • Hybrid I/O ports: six configurable inputs support dry-contact or solid-state safety devices, ISD, or standard control signals
 
  • High-power outputs: two configurable safety outputs (up to 1 A per channel) with ON/OFF readback for faster fault detection
  • Rugged construction: IP67-rated housing for on-machine mounting; available with M12 L-Code or mini passthrough power connections
  • Ethernet passthrough: built-in dual-port switch for easy daisy-chaining of network communication
Applications
  • Large-scale production lines: managing extensive networks of E-stops and interlocking switches across long conveyors
  • Robotic work cells: integrating light curtains, laser scanners, and door sensors with a single safety controller
 
  • Packaging machinery: simplifying wiring for modular machine builds where cabinet space is limited
  • Automotive manufacturing: high-density safety device monitoring with real-time diagnostics for rapid fault recovery
