Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey NDSO04 Digital Slave Output Module is a highly dependable digital output module designed for the INFI 90 Distributed Control System (DCS), one of the most established and trusted control system platforms used in heavy industries. This module acts as a digital signal interface between the controller and field devices, allowing for discrete output commands to be executed in real time.
Specifically, the NDSO04 module provides 16 digital output channels, which are used to control field equipment such as motor starters, contactors, pilot lights, alarms, interlocks, and other discrete actuators. Each output is individually controlled by the system processor and is monitored to ensure correct operation, adding a layer of reliability to mission-critical applications.
The NDSO04 is designed with robust signal integrity and galvanic isolation, making it suitable for high-noise industrial environments. With its strong reliability record, the NDSO04 is an essential module for distributed control networks across sectors such as oil & gas, chemicals, power generation, and metals processing.
