ABB Bailey IMMFC04 Multifunction Controller

Product Introduction

The ABB Bailey IMMFC04 is a high-performance Multifunction Controller Module designed for use within ABB’s INFI 90 Distributed Control System (DCS). It plays a critical role in executing process control functions, managing I/O signals, coordinating communication between subsystems, and executing application-specific logic in industrial automation settings.

Part of the widely deployed Bailey INFI 90 control platform, the IMMFC04 is a robust, software-configurable controller capable of real-time operation, redundant architecture support, and tight integration with ABB’s advanced control strategies. It can be programmed for various roles such as regulatory control, batch control, data acquisition, and sequence management.

Built with industrial-grade reliability and supporting deterministic execution, the IMMFC04 is suitable for high-availability applications in industries like power generation, refining, chemical processing, water treatment, and manufacturing automation.

Product Specifications

Product Applications

The IMMFC04 is a versatile industrial controller suited for complex, high-integrity automation systems where centralized logic and reliable communication are required. Key applications include:

• Power Plants
  Handles regulatory control, feedwater, turbine, and boiler control loops.

• Petrochemical Facilities
  Executes batch sequencing, valve logic, and reactor control.

• Water & Wastewater Treatment
  Controls filtration, chlorination, and pumping systems.

• Oil & Gas Processing
  Coordinates process skids, compressors, and pressure systems.

• Paper & Pulp Mills
  Oversees paper machine DCS logic and pulp processing.

• Pharmaceutical Automation
  Manages batch reactors, CIP systems, and environment-controlled operations.
