Specification
RIO 08

A. General
i.	The RIO 80 (“Remote Device”) shall be a microprocessor-based system specifically designed as an input/output interface for integration with lighting and audio visual controllers in an architectural or entertainment application. A personal computer running emulation software shall not be acceptable.
ii.	The Remote Device shall be configured by a controller over an Ethernet connection.
iii.	The Operating Software of the Remote Device shall be stored in a dedicated non-removable non-volatile solid-state memory. It shall be possible to update the Operating Software by download from a remote personal computer over an Ethernet connection.
iv.	The Remote Device shall automatically connect to a controller over an Ethernet connection on receiving power without additional external inputs.
v.	There shall be visual indicators on the Remote Device showing status of the Remote Device and its interfaces.
vi.	The Remote Device shall support a multi-mode full-duplex RS232/half-duplex RS485 serial port. The operating mode of this port shall be set by controllers over Ethernet.
vii.	The Remote Device shall support DMX output via the multi-mode serial port, configurable by controllers over Ethernet.
viii.	The Remote Device shall support 8 individually isolated relay outputs. The state of these outputs shall be set by controllers over Ethernet.
ix.	The Remote Device shall have an address wheel to aid simple addressing up to 15 remote devices, with a setting to allow additional addressing based on the serial number of the Remote Device.
x.	The Remote Device shall have a recessed switch for resetting the unit without removal of power.
xi.	The Remote Device shall have an internal watchdog feature that will restart the unit in the event of program failure.
xii.	The Remote Device shall be provided with a 5 year manufacturer warranty.

B. Physical
i.	Enclosure and mounting shall comply with DIN43880 and EN60715(35/7.5) respectively.
ii.	The unit shall be a 4 unit DIN enclosure (71.5mm x 90.0mm x 58.0mm).
iii.	The unit shall be entirely solid-state with no moving parts or fans.
iv.	The unit shall operate in a temperature range from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
v.	The unit shall be CE compliant.
vi.	The unit shall be ETL/cETL listed.

C. Electrical
i.	The Remote Device shall be designed to support the following wire terminations (Camden Electronics CTB9208 5.08mm plug-in rising clamp terminals):
a.	8-pin individually isolated (1KV) relay outputs (48V 250mA) (2x 4 outputs)
b.	3-pin RS232/RS485 serial input/output
and the plug-in rising clamp terminals shall be provided.
ii.	In addition there shall be the following standard connectors:
a.	RJ45 socket for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet
iii.	The Remote Device shall be able to receive power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af PoE powered device).

D. Software
i.	The Remote Device and associated controllers shall be supported by programming software running on either a PC or Mac platform.  Programming features shall include:
a.	Comprehensive architectural and automated fixture library 
b.	Drag and drop placement of fixtures on plan
c.	Drag and drop patching of fixtures to output addresses
d.	Import of any media for mapping to fixture arrays
e.	Timeline-based programming and playback
f.	Extensive range of editable effect presets
g.	Drag and drop placement of effect presets and media on timeline
h.	Variety of triggering options for firing system-wide events
i.	Each trigger event may be configured to initiate one or more lighting or show control action
j.	Each trigger event may be configured to test one or more conditions before executing its actions
k.	Simulation of individual timelines, and entire project with triggers
l.	Live output from software for programming verification purposes
m.	Controller, Remote Device and network management tools 
n.	Export TSV reports for all aspects of programming
o.	Tools for remote management of content and show programming
