Tridium IO-R-34 & IO-R-16 | JACE I/O Expansion

As building automation systems grow, so does the need to connect more sensors, equipment and field devices across a facility. Whether expanding into additional areas, integrating new systems or supporting evolving operational requirements, having a scalable approach to I/O expansion is essential. 

The Tridium IO-R-34 and IO-R-16 remote I/O modules are designed to help extend the reach of your JACE® controller, making it easier to bring additional monitoring and control points into your Niagara-based system. By supporting remote I/O deployment up to 4,000 feet from the JACE over an industry-standard RS485 network, these modules provide the flexibility to connect devices where they are needed most. 

Extend Monitoring and Control Across More of Your Facility 

As facilities become larger and more connected, monitoring and controlling equipment from a central platform becomes increasingly important. The IO-R platform enables remote inputs and outputs to be integrated directly with a JACE controller, helping organizations extend automation capabilities across a wider area without changing their core control architecture. 

The result is a more connected building automation system that can continue to expand as operational requirements evolve. 

Build a Strong Foundation for Expansion with the IO-R-34 

The IO-R-34 serves as the foundation for scalable remote I/O expansion. Featuring 16 universal inputs, 10 relay outputs and 8 analog outputs, it provides the capacity needed for a wide range of monitoring and control applications. 

Beyond its own I/O capabilities, the IO-R-34 can power up to four IO-R-16 modules. This allows additional I/O capacity to be added as requirements grow, helping support larger Niagara applications from a single platform. 

Key Advantages of the IO-R-34 

• Supports growing building automation requirements 

• Provides a scalable foundation for remote I/O expansion 

• Powers up to four IO-R-16 modules 

• Helps extend monitoring and control across larger facilities 

Add I/O Where It Is Needed Most with the IO-R-16 

For facilities that need additional points closer to field equipment, the IO-R-16 offers a flexible way to expand capacity. With 8 universal inputs, 4 relay outputs, and 4 analog outputs, it enables additional devices to be connected into the Niagara system while maintaining communication back to the JACE controller. 

Its remote deployment capabilities help bring monitoring and control closer to the equipment being managed, making it easier to support distributed building applications and evolving project requirements. 

Key Advantages of the IO-R-16 

• Extends I/O capacity where additional points are required 

• Supports distributed building automation applications 

• Enables flexible system expansion 

• Connects more field devices to a Niagara-based architecture 

Scale as Your Requirements Grow 

One of the key strengths of the IO-R platform is its scalability. Multiple IO-R devices can be utilized on a single JACE controller, supporting more than 250 I/O points from one controller. This allows organizations to expand their systems over time while continuing to leverage their existing Niagara infrastructure. 

Rather than redesigning an automation system as requirements increase, facility teams can add remote I/O capacity where it delivers the greatest value, creating a practical path for long-term growth. 

Expand Further. Connect More. 

The Tridium IO-R-34 and IO-R-16 provide a flexible and scalable solution for extending remote monitoring and control across Niagara applications. From supporting additional field devices to enabling larger, more distributed deployments, the IO-R platform helps ensure your building automation system is ready for future expansion.
