RIO-47122 Pocket PLC Now Reads Position Sensors

The RIO-47122 Pocket PLC now accepts inputs from two position sensors such as quadrature encoders, SSI encoders and BiSS encoders. The new RIO options are listed below.   Additional position channels and I/O options are available upon request.

Quadrature Encoders
Allows use of two encoders
(Channels A+,A-, B+,B-, Index+, Index-)
Part Number: RIO-47122-QUAD

SSI Encoders
Allows use of two (2) SSI encoders
Part Number: RIO-47122-SSI

BiSS Encoders
Allows use of two (2) BiSS encoders
Part Number: RIO-47122-BISS

The new RIO encoder option accepts the position sensor signals at frequencies up to 10 MHz allowing for high speed counting. The Galil command QE (Query Encoder) and SE (Set Encoder) are used to read and define the position, respectively.  The charge for the position input option is $75 in single quantity and $35 in quantities of 100.  Other features of the RIO include analog and digital I/O, Ethernet and RS232 ports, RISC processor for fast I/O handling, PID process control loops, timers, data logging, ability to send email alerts, Power-over-Ethernet, and more.  Custom options are also available.
