Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey IMMFP04 is a Multifunction Processor Module developed as part of the INFI 90 Distributed Control System (DCS), a highly reliable industrial automation platform engineered by Bailey Controls, now part of ABB. This processor module is responsible for executing control strategies, managing communication between modules, and processing I/O data in real-time environments.
Designed for mission-critical industrial applications, the IMMFP04 integrates seamlessly into INFI 90 racks, performing central processing tasks that coordinate control logic, data acquisition, and system supervision. It supports both regulatory and sequential control functions and can be configured using ABB’s Composer or Control Builder tools.
With its robust construction and long-proven field performance, the IMMFP04 continues to be a cornerstone in legacy ABB DCS architectures, offering excellent system availability and operational consistency.
