1. Packed with Analog and Digital I/O.

Whether it’s analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs or digital outputs that you’re after – Galil’s RIO Pocket PLC has it all and then some. Each RIO is loaded with I/O including 8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. Use them stand-alone or network multiple RIOs to handle all the I/O in your machine.

2. Smart
Combined with the I/O capability is a fast 32-bit microprocessor with a built-in 100BaseT Ethernet and 115k baud RS-232 serial port. If you need non-volatile memory and programmable logic, it’s in there. You can program the RIO with either Galil’s intuitive two letter command language or you have the option of using Galil’s Ladder Logic Interface software. Download your program, burn it in, and walk away.

3. Compact
The beauty of the RIO Pocket PLC is that its small size does not take away from its exhaustive capabilities. The RIO measures just 3.88” x 4.26” x 1.30”.

4. Low Price
Galil understands that budgets are tight so why not free up some of that budget – at a price of $295 in single quantity or $195 in 100 qty for the RIO-47100– that should give you some wiggle room.

5. Process Control Loops & Pulse Counter
No problem. The RIO has two independent process control loops. Just set up your analog input and output range, adjust the PID filter values, and you’ve got Galil’s powerful control algorithm doing all the dirty work for you. However, if that’s not enough, then maybe you’re in need of a pulse counter. The RIO has it covered – just enable it and you can count on either high or low going pulses. Tying the Pocket PLC to your machine just got easier.

6. Modbus/TCP Master and Slave
Still not enough? If it’s because you need Modbus/TCP– well, here’s some good news – the RIO can be a Modbus Master or Slave. Just put it on the Ethernet network and start using your Modbus Enabled devices to control the I/O remotely. Now you can easily interface to HMIs, PCs, motion controllers and other I/O devices.

7. Data Logging
But does it have data-logging? Yep. A snapshot of the controller’s I/O is recorded internally every other sample – just hook up via Ethernet to get real-time data displayed and stored on your Windows or Linux computer.

8. Web Interface and Email Capability
It doesn’t stop there though, with a web interface and email capability – you can set up event conditions to alert you via email or even send an email to a cell phone. You set up the conditions and the RIO monitors the machine…Automation at its best.

9. Use Screw Terminals or D-Subs
Screw Terminals vs D-Subs? It’s the age old question of convenience versus reliability. Well, now you don’t have to choose just one. The RIO provides D-sub connectors for cost-effective, reliable connectivity. Or, use mating ICS boards which provide screw-terminals for convenient prototyping and quick connections to I/O points.

10. Customization

And to top it off, if the RIO Pocket PLC doesn’t have it...Galil will put it in. Galil prides itself in being flexible to customer's needs and has a very successful track record of creating custom solutions to achieve success. This ranges from simple firmware modifications to full-blown custom hardware.
