ABB Robotics E-31701 IOS-01 Input Output Board

ABB Robotics IOS-01 Input/Output System Board (E-31701), also cataloged as 3E 031701, is an I/O interface module that functions as an IOS-01 Remote I/O board in ABB robot installations. It provides the essential bridge between an ABB robot controller and field devices, enabling the robot to read input signals from sensors and to drive output signals to actuators, safety devices, and end-of-arm tooling. This I/O System Board is specified for use with ABB’s 3E controller family, where it serves as an expansion point for digital I/O within automated cells, helping to coordinate signals across conveyors, safety interlocks, and peripheral equipment. In the ABB automation ecosystem, the IOS-01 designation identifies the board as the dedicated I/O interface in the E-31701/3E 031701 hardware family, facilitating reliable signal flow in industrial robot applications. Typical applications include machine tending, pick-and-place, and material-handling setups where robust, deterministic I/O signaling between the robot controller and external devices is required to ensure synchronized operation and safe, automated workflows.
