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. It has extendable IOs, using TFIO
modules and up to 8 onboard COM serial ports to communicate with measurement transmitters, additional
automation or control equipment, flow computers, etc.
