Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey AIN300 P-HB-AIN-30010 000 is a Harmony Block Analog Input (AI) Termination Module designed to provide a secure and organized interface between field analog instrumentation and the ABB Bailey INFI 90 Distributed Control System (DCS). As part of the Harmony Series I/O architecture, the AIN300 plays a critical role in ensuring accurate and noise-resistant transmission of analog signals such as temperature, pressure, and flow measurements.
Built to support analog input interface modules (e.g., IIA101, IIA102), the AIN300 allows for precise and reliable signal conditioning, thanks to its high-integrity screw terminals, field-shielded wiring compatibility, and robust construction. The module acts as a physical termination point where sensor wiring is grouped and channeled efficiently to the control system.
With widespread usage in industries such as power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment, the AIN300 delivers consistent performance, ensuring long-term system uptime and data accuracy across complex industrial automation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the AIN300’s main purpose in an ABB Harmony control system?
It serves as the termination point for analog signals from field devices, routing them to IIA analog interface modules for processing.
2. Can the AIN300 be used in both new installations and legacy system upgrades?
Yes, it is backward-compatible with Network 90 systems and forward-compatible with Harmony and INFI 90 systems.
3. What signal types can be handled through this module?
Through compatible IIA modules, it supports current (4–20 mA), voltage (0–10 V), RTDs, and thermocouples.
4. How are field cables connected to the AIN300?
Cables are connected using removable screw-type terminal blocks that are clearly labeled and easily accessible.
5. Does the module provide surge protection or signal conditioning?
Signal conditioning is handled by the analog interface modules. The AIN300 primarily acts as a termination base.
6. Is it possible to mix signal types on one AIN300?
No, each module is designed to support a uniform signal type as defined by the installed IIA card.
7. Are the terminal blocks replaceable in the field?
Yes, they are modular and designed for quick replacement during routine maintenance or troubleshooting.
8. How is the AIN300 secured in the rack?
It uses a standard rack-mount frame compatible with ABB I/O chassis, secured by screw-mounted brackets.
9. Is special shielding or grounding required?
Shielded cabling is recommended. The module supports shield ground termination to reduce electrical noise.
10. Can the AIN300 be used in high-vibration or industrial outdoor conditions?
