Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey IMDSM04 Pulse Input Slave Module is an integral component within the ABB INFI 90 control system family. This module is specifically engineered to process pulse input signals from field devices such as flow transmitters, pulse generators, and turbine meters. It serves as a high-speed input interface designed to accurately read and process frequency-based signals, transforming raw data into actionable process values that can be utilized across various industrial automation tasks.
IMDSM04 integrates seamlessly with ABB’s Symphony and INFI 90 systems, acting as a slave device under the Master I/O modules. It provides pulse input capability to the distributed control system (DCS), enabling precise monitoring of critical operations such as flow measurement and speed monitoring in turbines or rotating machinery. With robust diagnostics, industrial-grade design, and long-term field reliability, the IMDSM04 ensures optimized performance in demanding environments such as power generation plants, oil & gas facilities, and chemical processing units.
