XPIO 2000® DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Monitor and Control Downhole Gauges and Topside Instrumentation

Halliburton WellDynamics’ XPIO 2000® data acquisition and control system allows operators to
monitor and control downhole gauges and topside instrumentation. Acquiring data at a rate of 0.5
seconds per gauge, the XPIO 2000 system is available in a range of capacities, from 1-well/4-gauges
to 4-wells/8-gauges. A larger variant within the XPIO 2000 range is the UACU+, which extends
capacity up to 20-wells/40-gauges for a single unit. The UACU+ is fitted with a permanent
downhole gauge interface card (PDGIC) module for each downhole channel. Downhole cable inputs
are independent and fully isolated.

Features
 Up to four permanent downhole gauge communications channels (up to 20 for UACU+)
 Five channels of 4-20mA analog inputs (12-bit)
 Four channels of 4-20mA analog outputs (16-bit)
 8MB of on-board Flash memory plus 2GB of CompactFlash memory
 Modbus RTU protocol support via RS-485 or RS -232 port, or via TCP/IP port
 Modem communications support via RS-232 port
 Two relay contacts
 Communications programs that allow full configuration of the unit

Benefits
 Control WellDynamics’ permanent downhole gauges, including the ROC™ family, SmartLog™
and surface instruments
 Store and display data from WellDynamics’ permanent downhole gauges and surface sensors
 Interface with external systems, including third-party computers and distributed control systems

Analog Inputs
The XPIO 2000 system features five channels or 4-20mA inputs (12-bit) that are fully configurable
using the XPIO 2000 PC program. Users can set the offset, span, units of measure and then can
choose to monitor them on the display or log them into memory.

Analog Outputs
The XPIO 2000 system features four channels or 4-20mA outputs (16-bit). Users can select the
pressure, temperature, span and offset of a permanent downhole gauge, and the XPIO 2000 system
will drive the translated value onto an output as it is decoded from downhole.

Memory Logging
The XPIO 2000 system comes with 8MB of on board Flash memory. A CompactFlash card extends
the memory by 2GB as standard.

The standard 2GB CompactFlash provided memory capacity to hold pressure and temperature data
from two gauges at one second updates for more than a year.

The data is retrieved via an RS-232 port using the supplied PC program or by the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) over the TCP/IP link, and can easily be imported to other applications such as a
spreadsheet. Data is logged to memory at a maximum rate of once per second.

Both the standard XPIO and UACU+ are available in NEMA4X enclosures and 19” rack mount
versions. The 19” rack mount UACU+ has the capacity of 10-wells/20-gauges. The XPIO-QT is
available in an ATEX certified explosion proof enclosure.

Serial Communications
The XPIO 2000 system supports Modbus RTU protocol via its RS-485 or RS-232 port or via its
TCP/IP port. These interfaces are fully configurable in terms of parity, baud rate, etc. As a slave
device, the XPIO 2000 system provides gauge data (i.e. pressure and temperature) that can be polled,
as well as data from any of the 4-20mA inputs. Time and date are also available.

Modem Support
The XPIO 2000 system supports modem communications via the RS-232 port. Users may dial into
the unit using the supplied PC program, or use the port to talk to Modbus over the radio modem,
cellular modem, or regular modem.

Pressure-Controlled Relay Contacts

The XPIO 2000 system comes with two relay contacts (0.5A at 115VAC) which are controlled by
software. When a selected gauge’s pressure rises above, or falls below, a set pressure, the contact is
closed. This feature is ideal for alarms and/or pump control.

Web-Installed PC Application
The XPIO 2000 system comes with a Web-installed application that provides for full configuration
of the unit, as well as data memory retrieval, real-time logging of data to the computer hard drive,
and real-time data trending.

The application communicates with the XPIO 2000 system via a standard RS-232 port, and runs
under Windows® 2000/XP/Vista/7.
