+"""
+Module for the Galil RIO (RIO-471xx) controller interface. The controller is a compact PLC
+with Ethernet. It has digital and analog I/O as well as counters and timers.
+
+Link to the Galil RIO vendor page:
+https://www.galil.com/plcs/remote-io/rio-471xx
+
+This module provides the GalilRIOController for communication with the RIO controller
+over TCP/IP as well as a read-only Ophyd Signal, which reads from all 8 analog input channels.
+This signal can be used to create virtual devices in BEC that process the analog input values
+and combine them into more complex signals. For this purpose, the GalilRIOSignal should be
+integrated as a 'monitored' or 'baseline' signal in the device config of BEC.
