Specification
RIO 84

A. General
i.	The RIO 84 (“Remote Device”) shall be a solid-state device specifically designed as an input/output interface for part of a lighting control system in an architectural or entertainment application.
ii.	The Remote Device shall be configured and operate in conjunction with a compatible lighting controller (“Controller”) that it communicates with over an Ethernet network.
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 ports.
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 local inputs capable of digital, analogue or contact closure operating modes. The status of these inputs shall be transmitted over Ethernet to controllers.
ix.	The Remote Device shall support 4 individually isolated relay outputs. The state of these outputs shall be set by controllers over Ethernet.
x.	The Remote Device shall have an address wheel to aid simple addressing up to 9 remote devices, with a setting to allow additional addressing based on the serial number of the Remote Device.
xi.	The Remote Device shall have a recessed switch for resetting the unit without removal of power.
xii.	The Remote Device shall have an internal watchdog feature that will restart the unit in the event of program failure.
xiii.	The Remote Device shall be provided with a 5 year manufacturer warranty.

B. Physical
i.	The Remote Device shall be a 6 unit DIN enclosure (107.5mm x 90.0mm x 40.0mm).
ii.	Mounting shall comply with  EN60715(35/7.5) rail.
iii.	The Remote Device shall additionally have a keyhole bracket for alternate wall mounting. 
iv.	The Remote Device shall be entirely solid-state with no moving parts or fans.
v.	The Remote Device shall operate in a temperature range from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
vi.	The Remote Device shall be CE and UKCA compliant.
vii.	The Remote Device shall be UL/cUL 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.	12-pin digital/analogue inputs (8 inputs, tri-mode for digital: active high, active low or contact closure)
b.	8-pin individually isolated (1KV) relay outputs (48V 250mA) (4 outputs)
c.	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.
