### 4. Functionality

The WiFio‑103 functions as a remote data acquisition and control node. It converts analog and current sensor signals into digital data accessible via Modbus‑TCP or Modbus‑RTU. The host controller (PLC, PAC, or SCADA system) polls the module for input values or writes configuration parameters.

Operation Principle:
1. Sensors connect to the analog or current input terminals.
2. The module digitizes signals through 16‑bit A/D converters.
3. Data are transmitted to the host via Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or RS‑485.
4. The host interprets Modbus registers for monitoring or control.

Typical Applications:
- Industrial process monitoring and control
- Energy management and power distribution systems
- Building automation and HVAC control
- Laboratory instrumentation and test benches
- Remote data logging and telemetry
- Security and environmental monitoring

Compatibility:
Fully compatible with Modbus‑compliant PLCs, SCADA software, and IoT gateways. Works with Advanio’s ARIO Utility for configuration and diagnostics.
