ABB Bailey INPCT01 Plant Loop to Computer Transfer Module

Product Overview

The ABB Bailey INPCT01 is a Plant Loop to Computer Transfer Module for the INFI 90 Distributed Control System. It provides the interface between the Plant Loop communication network and external computer systems, enabling data exchange and supervisory control from host computers. The INPCT01 is specifically designed for Plant Loop-based INFI 90 systems, differing from the INICT series which interfaces with INFI-NET.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between INPCT01 and INICT03?
A: INPCT01 interfaces with Plant Loop networks; INICT03 interfaces with INFI-NET networks.

Q: Can INPCT01 be used with INFI-NET?
A: No, it is specifically designed for Plant Loop communication. Use INICT series for INFI-NET.

Model Selection Tips

• INPCT01 = Plant Loop to Computer Transfer Module
• Verify your system uses Plant Loop (not INFI-NET) architecture
• For INFI-NET to computer transfer, use INICT03/INICT13/INICT13A
• Confirm computer interface type and protocol requirements
