ABB FIO-11 Analog I/O Extension Module
Description
FIO-11: extra analog and digital I/O for ABB drives
The FIO-11 is ABB’s Analog I/O Extension, a general purpose option module that adds three analog inputs, one analog output and two digital inputs or outputs to a drive. The manual (3AFE68784930 Rev C, effective 1 February 2008) describes the module for drives with the JCU-01 control unit, and ABB still lists it among the I/O extension options. All inputs and outputs are at the same potential and share one isolation barrier to the control electronics.
Technical specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Type designation | FIO-11 |
| Module type | Analog I/O extension |
| Analog inputs | 3, -10 to 10 V or -20 to 20 mA, selectable by slide switch |
| Analog input accuracy | 16-bit resolution, 0.1% of full scale |
| Analog input bandwidth | DC to 4 kHz (-3 dB) |
| Analog output | 1, 0 to 20 mA, load below 500 ohm, 12-bit |
| Analog output accuracy | 2% of full scale, DC to 500 Hz |
| Digital I/O | 2, programmable input, push-pull or open collector |
| Digital output current | 50 mA source, 50 mA sink |
| Maximum power | 300 mA at 24 V |
| Degree of protection | IP20 |
Signal types and settings
Each analog input can carry a voltage of -10 to 10 V or a current of -20 to 20 mA, chosen with a slide switch next to the input: up for current, down for voltage. The inputs are differential with a common-mode range of plus or minus 20 V and 16-bit conversion. The single analog output delivers 0 to 20 mA into a load below 500 ohm with 12-bit resolution. The two digital channels are inputs by default and can be programmed as push-pull or open-collector outputs, with 24 V logic levels below 5 V for zero and above 15 V for one, 2 kOhm input impedance and short-circuit-proof outputs.
Installation and diagnostics
The module is inserted into the option slot, held by plastic retaining clips and one screw that must be fitted for EMC compliance. Six two-pole detachable plugs (X71 to X76) carry the signals; use cable of at most 2.5 mm2, tighten the plugs to 0.5 Nm and keep signal cables away from power cables. Communication with the drive is activated by a drive parameter, and the STATUS LED shows green for OK, orange for no initialisation or a communication fault and red for a power fault. Typical applications are pressure, flow and temperature transmitters, level sensors and analogue speed references that exceed the standard I/O of the control unit; the module can serve as a plug-in channel expansion without changing the drive program structure.

About brand
ABB is the Swiss-Swedish engineering group for electrification and automation: low voltage drives, motors, circuit breakers and motor control, process instruments and analysers, control systems and robots. It was formed on 5 January 1988 by the merger of two older companies. ASEA was founded in Västerås, Sweden, in 1883 by Ludvig Fredholm to make electric lighting and generators. BBC Brown Boveri was founded in Baden near Zurich in 1891 by Charles E. L. Brown and Walter Boveri. ABB Ltd is incorporated in Switzerland, headquartered in Zurich and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.

Choosing an ABB drive
ABB's ACS drive codes are easy to read once you know the pattern. In ACS580-01-046A-4, "ACS580" is the drive family, "01" means a wall-mounted single drive, "046A" is the rated output current (about 46 A) and "-4" means a 380–480 V supply. The family is chosen by application: ACS355 for compact machinery, ACS310 for simple pumps and fans, ACS580 as the general-purpose drive, ACQ580 for water and wastewater with pump functions such as pipe fill and dry-run protection, and ACS880 for heavy industrial duty with direct torque control. Size the drive on the motor's full-load current, not only its kW rating, and allow derating for the high ambient temperatures common in Gulf electrical rooms.
Where ABB products are used
In Oman and the GCC, ABB drives and motors run pumps, fans and compressors in water and wastewater plants, district cooling, oil and gas and industry. ABB flowmeters, level instruments and analysers are used in water utilities, power and desalination plants and refineries, and SACE breakers protect switchboards in buildings and plants.

Ordering ABB products: what we need
Send the full type code from the nameplate (for example ACS580-01-046A-4 or 266DSH...) and, for spare parts, the ABB ID number (such as 3BSE008508R1 or 1SBL176001R3010). For drives, add the motor power and current and any option codes (+...). For instruments, send the complete order code, which sets range, materials and approvals. Baldor motors are listed on their own brand page.
