Installing the RIO BoardInstallation of a complete, operational RIO system consists of 4 steps:Step 1. Configure jumpersStep 2. Connect power to the RIOStep 3. Install the communications softwareStep 4. Establish communications between the RIO and the host PCStep 1. Configure JumpersPower Input Jumpers (EXT/AUX vs PoE)The RIO can be powered using either an external DC power input or a PoE (Power over Ethernet)switch to deliver power over the Ethernet cable. By default, the RIO is expecting the use of anexternal power supply and four jumpers are placed on either the “EXT” or “AUX” pins depending onthe RIO model. If PoE is desired instead, move the four jumpers from the pins labeled “EXT/AUX” tothe pins labeled “PoE.” A full description of the “PoE” and “AUX/EXT” jumpers are in the Appendixlisted under Jumper Descriptions.Not all RIO models have the PoE option. For more information PoE options and which DC powersupply is appropriate for your model, continue to Step 2. Connect Power to the RIO.Master Reset and Upgrade JumperThe MRST jumper is for a master reset. When MRST is jumped, the RIO will perform a master reseteither when the board reset button is pressed or the controller is power cycled. Whenever the I/Oboard has a master reset, all parameters, programs, arrays, and variables stored in non-volatilememory will be erased–this will set the RIO board back to factory defaults.The UPGD jumper enables the user to unconditionally update the board firmware. This jumper is notnecessary for firmware updates when the RIO board is operating normally, but may be necessary incases of a corrupted non-volatile memory. non-volatile memory corruption should never occur undernormal operating circumstances; however, corruption is possible if there is a power fault during afirmware update.If non-volatile memory corruption occurs, your board may not operate properly. In this case, installthe UPGD jumper, connect over RS232, and use the update firmware function in the Galil software tore-load the system firmware.The location for the jumpers are in the Appendix listed under Jumper Descriptions.Setting the Baud Rate on the RIOThe default baud rate for the RIO is 115K (jumper OFF).The jumper labeled “19.2,” allows the user to select the serial communication baud rate. The baudrate can be set using the following table:19.2 BAUD RATEOFF 115kON 19.2kThe location for the jumpers are in the Appendix listed under Jumper Descriptions.Chapter 2 Getting Started ▫ 14 RIO-47xxx Rev. 1.0r
