Communications with serial endpoint devices has never been easier. XIO provides two methods for delivering serial data to the RMC: the familiar communication application or the new Ethernet to Serial Passthrough application. By using the Ethernet to Serial Passthrough application, the RMC will receive the data from the field instrumentation directly, serving as a data conduit.

Another new feature being released with the XIO is the support for hot-pluggable and hot-swappable TFIO modules. Users can now replace, remove, and add TFIO modules to the XIO and RMC dynamically^*.

New networking features allow the XIO to support up to four independent networks, two independent switch networks, and the ability to use the XIO’s Wi-Fi^** as an independent network or to bridge with one of the Ethernet ports.

^*Depending on site safety and company policy
^**XIO supports Wi-Fi access point or client modes for
configuration only.

The XIO is an extension to the RMC family, providing enhanced and scalable IO capacity to existing and new sites. Totalflow customers will be very comfortable with XIO and its applications.
