2.2.4  TFIO expansion interfaces  
The RMC provides expansion interfaces to add modular I/O. The RMC has two TFIO interfaces, TFIO A 
and TFIO B. Each TFIO interface supports up to 22 TFIO modules (44 total). 
The RMC uses two independent buses to communicate with the modules. ABB Totalflow devices have 
an I/O protocol to exchange information with the modules. The buses operate in a master/slave 
mode, with the main device board acting as master.  
The TFIO modules are DIN rail mountable and employ contact technology for field wiring. The modules 
interconnect with each other to provide the necessary power and interface signals along the bus. 
 
The RMC does not support the TFIO CIM module. The RMC supports the 
modules labeled for use with 24 Vdc.
 
All modules have four LED lights, a manual reset button, and a selectable address from zero through 
seven (Figure 2-9
). On the faceplate of each module is: 
–  Type of module  
–  LED light panel 
–  Reset button 
–  Module address selector
