  • Page 12: System Description

    — System Description The ABB XIO is a microprocessor-based device with built-in, pre-engineered applications for expanding communication and IO over Ethernet to a host controller. The devices are extendable, supporting hardware expansion using TFIO modules. XIO may be placed remotely from the controller (RTU) using Ethernet. Configuration of the device may be performed using USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or an Ethernet connection.

  • Page 13: Physical Description

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The XIO must be installed on an interior wall, or in an enclosure that meets the environmental ratings for the location. See section 2.1.1 Enclosures for information about ABB enclosures. See section 3.1.1 Enclosure requirements for information about third-party enclosures.

    WARNING– Bodily injury. Although there may be alternate methods of installation and commissioning of the XIO, ABB recommends that technicians perform the procedures in the order presented: plan, install, wire, then apply power, verify power-on sequence, and configure. Site planning and requirements XIO installation requires that customer-supplied enclosures, power sources, wiring, and location comply with the specifications described in this section.

  • Page 27: Ground The Controller

    The XIO is usually already mounted on an internal DIN rail inside the enclosure. To use non-ABB enclosures, follow the vendor’s mounting instructions. The DIN rail can be installed on a wall or in an enclosure that meets the environmental ratings for that location. It is recommended that 4 inches of clearance be available above and below the device, and 1 inch to the left and right of the XIO, or the XIO and any TFIOs connected.
