Description
Product Specification: KONGSBERG RDIOR420 Remote Digital I/O and Relay Module
KONGSBERG RDIOR420 is a modular remote I/O module designed for industrial automation, marine control, and process monitoring systems. It combines digital input/output (DI/DO) and relay channels to interface with sensors, actuators, and control systems in harsh environments.
The
RDIOR420 is a hybrid I/O module with the following key features:
- 16 Solid-State DI/DO Channels: Configurable as digital inputs or outputs for sensor/actuator integration.
- 16 Relay Channels: Normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) for switching high-power loads.
- Redundant Communication: Dual Remote I/O Process Bus (RBUS A/B) interfaces for fault-tolerant communication with host systems (e.g., RCU510).
- Short-Circuit Protection: On solid-state output channels to prevent damage.
- Loop Monitoring: For detecting faults in the I/O loop.
- Galvanic Isolation: Between communication ports and module circuitry to protect against electrical noise.
