ABB flow computers and RTUs are&nbsp;used to monitor, measure and control many upstream oil and gas applications to ensure safe and efficient operations. The solution enables users to monitor, measure, and control flows from anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This XIO extension means that site configuration requirements can be met whatever the size of the oil or gas field. The need for physical on-site presence is reduced due to the remote control and monitoring of I\/O points and serial devices, putting safety first and reducing costs. As well as extending ABB\u2019s RMC capabilities, the XIO is compatible with a wide range of controllers across the market, emphasising ABB\u2019s commitment to open architecture across all areas of industrial automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipment can be added without significant infrastructure modifications, allowing easy expansion of I\/O points and connection of serial devices. Up to 22 hot pluggable I\/O modules can be added or replaced without power interruption, minimising downtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The XIO series offers several connectivity options, new networking features (up to four independent networks are supported), and the possibility to use the XIO\u2019s Wi-Fi as a network or bridge with one of the Ethernet ports. Reliable and efficient data transfer is made easy by connecting the XIO to the RMC over Ethernet. Four ethernet points allow for different network configurations. It also features control and measurement applications for specific needs of remote locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a specific integration feature, ABB\u2019s RMC discovers a XIO device on the network, learns its configuration, becoming a consumer of the XIO\u2019s application data without the need to maintain a list of connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing digitalisation in the oil and gas industry means that reliable connectivity is required for successful operations. Wellheads often must achieve extended connectivity rapidly to meet expansion opportunities. ABB\u2019s XIO provides immediate connectivity expansion, enhancing production and reducing costs associated with traditional equipment upgrades. It integrates islands of automation and enables remote data connection for real-time analytics across the site and enterprise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ABB XIO series is an extended range of all-in-one devices to monitor, control and manage oil and gas flow applications.\u00a0 The ABB XIO-08, ABB XIO-04 and ABB XIO-00 each operate as an extension to the ABB Remote Module Controller (RMC) family, providing enhanced I\/O capacity and increasing overall wellhead operational efficiency.&nbsp;
