RVFSIFIO – AC DRIVE I/O expansion card
Carlo Gavazzi RVFSIFIO is an AC drive I/O expansion card for compatible VariFlex² RVEF variable frequency drives, providing 2 additional inputs and 1 additional output for extended control integration.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi RVFSIFIO AC Drive I/O Expansion Card?
The Carlo Gavazzi RVFSIFIO is an I/O expansion card for AC variable frequency drives, designed to extend the control input and output capabilities of compatible Carlo Gavazzi VariFlex² drive systems. It provides a practical way to accommodate additional external control signals when the drive's standard I/O configuration is insufficient for the application.
Carlo Gavazzi lists the RVFSIFIO as an optional feature for its VariFlex² RVEF variable frequency AC drives. The expansion capability is specified as 2 additional inputs and 1 additional output, providing extra connection points for machine controls, switches, sensors or other automation signals within a compatible drive installation.
As a dedicated drive accessory, the RVFSIFIO integrates directly with the intended VariFlex² platform rather than requiring a separate external I/O controller. This helps keep control-panel installations organised while providing additional flexibility when configuring drive-based automation and machinery control systems.

Flexible I/O Expansion for Drive-Based Automation
Variable frequency drives often need to exchange control signals with switches, sensors, relays and other automation equipment. Where the standard drive I/O does not provide enough connection points, an expansion module allows additional signals to be incorporated without redesigning the complete control architecture.
The RVFSIFIO expands the compatible VariFlex² drive by 2 inputs and 1 output, providing additional flexibility when implementing machine commands, operating conditions and control responses. As a purpose-designed Carlo Gavazzi accessory, it offers a convenient approach to extending the functionality of compatible VariFlex² RVEF installations.
Typical Applications
- VariFlex² RVEF variable frequency drive installations.
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- OEM machine automation.
- Pump and fan control systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Additional sensor and switch interfacing.
- Drive-based process control systems.
- Industrial automation installations requiring additional drive I/O.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Carlo Gavazzi RVFSIFIO?
The RVFSIFIO is an AC drive I/O expansion card designed to extend the input and output capabilities of compatible Carlo Gavazzi variable frequency drives.
How much additional I/O does the RVFSIFIO provide?
The RVFSIFIO provides 2 additional inputs and 1 additional output for compatible drive installations.
Which drives is the RVFSIFIO designed for?
Carlo Gavazzi identifies the RVFSIFIO as an optional I/O expansion card for its VariFlex² RVEF variable frequency AC drive family.
Why would an RVFSIFIO expansion card be required?
The card is useful when an application requires more control inputs or outputs than are available through the drive's standard I/O, allowing additional external control signals to be integrated into the drive system.
Is the RVFSIFIO a communications card?
No. The RVFSIFIO is specifically an I/O expansion card. Carlo Gavazzi lists separate VariFlex² option cards for RS232 and RS485 communications.
