Description
Product Description
The ABB Bailey IIMCP02 is a Multibus Communication Processor Module developed for integration within ABB Infi-90 and Net-90 distributed control systems. It operates as a central processing and communication unit, managing high-speed data exchange between operator interfaces, control modules, and networked subsystems.
Unlike simple interface modules, the IIMCP02 combines communication handling with real-time processing capabilities. It executes system-level coordination tasks, supports deterministic data transfer over SCSI-based architecture, and provides embedded diagnostic functions for monitoring system integrity. This makes it a key component in maintaining synchronization and operational continuity across distributed control environments.
Its architecture is optimized for legacy DCS infrastructures where stable Multibus communication and predictable system response are required.
