4.15.2 Fieldbus Interfaces – Allen Bradley Remote I/O
The Allen Bradley (AB) Remote I/O communication interface allows slave connection to an
AB Remote I/O network. FEC has licensed (Lic. #199906006) the use of the AB Remote I/O
interface board (through HMS Fieldbus Systems). AB Remote I/O is a proprietary Fieldbus of
Allen Bradley. AB - RIO allows industrial devices to be controlled over a network architecture
enabling device connection at various locations in the field. The network can have up to 240
nodes with valid rack addresses of 0-59. Its maximum communication baud rate is 230K
baud with two other settings of 115K & 57.6K baud.
Rack addressing & baud rate is selectable using the baud/address selection DIP switch.
Module status LED’s provide network diagnostics.
Maximum FEC I/O data is 32 inputs & 32 outputs (1/4 Rack). 1/2, 3/4 & Full rack configura-
tion are not supported by the Fusion system.
FEC integrates the AB Remote I/O board manufactured by HMS Fieldbus Systems into the
Multi-Unit modular I/O board. For further technical information on the AB Remote I/O inter-
face see the AnyBus -DT reference found at the end of this chapter or go to the HMS web-
site. (www.hms.se)
Further AB Remote I/O information can be found through Allen Bradley’s website.
