ABB INPCT01 Bailey Infi 90 Plant Loop to Computer Transfer Module

Description

The ABB INPCT01 is a communication gateway for Bailey Infi 90 and Network 90 systems, bridging the Plant Loop and external systems like host computers or workstations. It translates proprietary protocols into serial data, enabling data acquisition, monitoring, and configuration management. By acting as a secure buffer, the INPCT01 ensures that administrative data requests don't disrupt real-time control operations.
