Innovation in Networking

RIO xR3

Industrial strength remote I/O and IoT telemetry system with cellular and satellite connectivity. Evolved for extreme reliability in harsh environments.

IoT Telemetry & Remote Network Supervisory Module

RIO xR3
EVOLVED.

Equal parts industrial strength remote I/O module — performing network supervisory functions — and IoT telemetry system with cellular and satellite connectivity.

Equipped with highly integrated multi-processor cores, the xR3 delivers optimal performance for every job. Light weight, compact, powerful, yet energy-efficient.

RIO xR3 Hardware

POWERFUL.

Multi-processor cores deliver optimal performance. Run off local DC supply or AC/mains. On-board backup battery and intelligent charger allow operations even in challenging conditions — alarms will make it through even if power goes out.

VERSATILE.

More than 25 years of experience poured into the design. Performs alarms supervision, automation control and environmental monitoring while gathering data from all your MODBUS devices. Integrated OneWire bus supports up to 8 Optima enviroSENSORS.

MULTI-PROTOCOL.

Supports mDNS, MQTT, eMail, SNMPv1-3, MODBUS RTU, Modbus over TCP/IP, and Alarms Uplink. Effortlessly converts between protocols, taking the hassle out of translating data points and streaming telemetry to the cloud.

HYBRID INPUTS.

Software switchable to be either discrete contact or analog inputs — individually, with custom thresholds. Ultra-wide -60Vdc to +60Vdc operating range. Never run out of the type of I/O you need most.

OPTIMA AT HEART.

Rich set of SNMP capabilities makes integration easy. Compatible with Remote Commander Client (RCC) and Remote Commander Server (RCS) for unified management of all your Optima devices.

CONNECTIVITY3

Extended Reach to the power of 3. Deploy at the source, next to existing equipment. Choose your connectivity: LAN/SFP for Ethernet sites, Cellular (LTE-M/NB-IoT) for remote locations, or Satellite for the most extreme deployments.

I/O AT-A-GLANCE

Everything you need to monitor, control, and connect — in one compact unit.

REACH FAR-OFF PLACES

Small IoT telemetry and alarm handling units you can deploy everywhere. Right at the source, next to your existing equipment or sensors. Pick the best connectivity option available:

LAN / SFP

For those busy places where you already have Ethernet/fiber connectivity.

CELLULAR

For sites a bit off the beaten track, covered by either LTE-M or NB-IoT.

SATELLITE

For even the most remote site. Uses Optima's advanced ALARMS UPLINK protocol to preserve bandwidth and stay within budget.

INTERFACE PANEL

All connectivity options are easily accessible on the rear panel. The modular design includes dedicated ports for Ethernet (RJ45), SFP fiber connections, WiFi antenna, cellular modem, and satellite connectivity.

  • Ethernet: 10/100/1000Base-T with RJ45 connector
  • SFP Port: 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X fiber connectivity
  • WiFi: IEEE 802.11b/g/n with external antenna
  • Cellular: LTE-M / NB-IoT module slot
  • Satellite: External modem connection
