Liberty, SC (January 20th, 2006) – Sealevel Systems, Inc., known for reliable I/O solutions, has introduced the Relio R1000 embedded I/O server. Designed to operate without fans or other moving parts, the R1000 combines the reliability and design consistency of a PLC with the versatility of an industrial computer.
For flexible local and remote I/O expansion, the system connects to Sealevel SeaI/O data acquisition modules available in a variety of digital and analog versions.Powered by a high-performance, low-power 600MHz Celeron M processor, the R1000 is packed with standard I/O including 10/100BaseT Ethernet, two serial ports, one high-speed USB 2.0 port, and two USB 1.1 ports. The product is designed and maintained with strict attention to long-term availability, avoiding the obsolescence problems inherent with motherboard-based industrial computers.
Interface to a wide variety of real world devices is available using Sealevel’s popular SeaI/O family. Choose from Reed and Form C relays, optically isolated inputs, TTL, A/D, and D/A options.
R1000 systems communicate with SeaI/O devices using Modbus RTU allowing one or more SeaI/O modules to be physically attached to the R1000 or located remotely up to 4000 feet away.Measuring just 7.5” x 5.1” x 1.8”, R1000 systems are housed in rugged metal enclosures and are small enough to mount almost anywhere.
The R1000 is powered by 9-30VDC, and power is provided to SeaI/O expansion modules using convenient pass-through connectors. A VESA mounting bracket is available that attaches the R1000 directly to flat panel monitors to create a robust, expandable flat panel computing solution.Windows® XP Embedded is a perfect operating system choice for Relio systems. Sealevel offers application assistance for efficiently transferring customer applications to the XP Embedded platform.
