ISA or Universal 3 3V 5V PCI SS Host card Ta Peripheral for example printer You use RIO when you need a system which supports fault tolerant cabling The RIO system allows you to add and remove port modules while the system is live which means you can reconfigure without interrupting operations The relocated units retain their original port names and settings This capability is especially useful in the case of cable disruption and also for situations where complete data security is required In addition RIO supports the connection of a stand by host in case of server crashes You also use RIO because you require a system that allows long distance connection without signal degradation or performance loss RIO allows you to install port modules up to 75 metres from the host card using twisted pair cabling Furthermore you can extend the range by daisy chaining devices In addition you can connect port modules up to 1Km from the host via copper wire or fibre optic or longer distances via leased line using RIO connectivity modules You use RIO where you need a system that you can reconfigure live without interrupting system operation This capability is typically used in environments such as manufacturing plants test suites and hospitals RIO Remote I O System User Guide Chapter 1 Introduction About the RIO system Page 21 SPDOPSP RIO system components This section provides a brief description of the
