Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey IMFEC11 Analog Input Module is an essential part of the ABB INFI 90 distributed control system (DCS), specifically designed to handle high-precision analog signal acquisition from a wide range of industrial field instruments. It acts as the interface between analog field signals—such as 4–20 mA or 1–5 V signals—and the control system, allowing accurate monitoring of process variables like pressure, temperature, level, and flow.
IMFEC11 is part of the Field Entry Cabinet (FEC) family and offers advanced signal conditioning and diagnostics features. Each input is individually isolated, and the module provides filtering and conversion to digital format for processing in the control system. Known for its rugged build quality, the IMFEC11 is suitable for mission-critical applications in power generation, chemical processing, oil and gas, water treatment, and more. It supports a modular rack-mount design and works seamlessly within the ABB Symphony and INFI 90 series control systems.
