2.3.3 Configuration files
The configuration files contain the configuration or settings required for the operation of the XIO and
applications. Configuration files can include initial (factory-defined) or user-defined settings or
parameters. The XIO contains the following configuration files:
– Factory configuration is the ABB default factory configuration, or a customer-specific configuration
programmed into the factory folder during final assembly. The factory configuration is read-only and
stored in persistent memory. It can only be updated at the factory.
– Startup (cold) configuration is used for a cold restart of the device or when a configuration package is
sent to the device by the PCCU loader. The startup configuration is stored in the tfCold directory and
can be modified or updated as needed.
– Running (warm) configuration is used by the device during normal operation. The running
configuration is stored in the tfData directory and can be modified or updated as needed.
2.3.4 Customer data collection files
The data collection files contain all the trend data the XIO generates. These data files are in the tfData
directory with the running configuration files. The type and amount of collection data depend on the
number and type of trends active on the device.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: The tfData directory also contains the calibration files if the controller has
been
field-calibrated.
2.4 User interface
The PCCU32 software running in a Windows
®
environment is the main user interface to the XIO. PCCU32
supports several view levels and can be configured to provide role-based secure access to the controller
for the following tasks:
– Initial configuration and commissioning (setup)
– Monitor the controller operation and performance
– Add, configure and optimize applications (configuration)
– Calibration
– Data collection
2.5 Secure service access interface
The Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) on the XIO allow secure login access and
file transfer capability for advanced service access. SSH provides an encrypted communication channel,
which requires private key authentication for access to the controller. Secure access is available for
troubleshooting purposes only and is reserved for advanced users and ABB technical support or
development personnel.
