ABB INICT03A INFI‑NET To Computer Transfer Module

The INICT03A 3BSE008590R1 belongs to ABB Symphony Harmony INFI90 DCS system, it is dedicated gateway transfer module between INFI‑NET ring network and external host computer. It is equipped with RS‑232‑C serial port and SCSI parallel interface, realizes bidirectional data transmission: upload process data, alarm and event information from INFI‑NET ring network to operator station / engineering station; download control configuration, function‑code parameters to MFP / BRC series processors. Widely used in power plant, petrochemical, pulp‑paper industry Symphony DCS cabinets. This module only completes network‑computer protocol conversion and data buffering, it does not execute process control logic。

Description

Hardware Electrical Specifications

‑ Power Supply:Power supplied by Harmony rack back‑plane, +5VDC 2A, +15V /‑15V, typical power consumption 10W

‑ Mechanical Structure:Rack plug‑in single‑width module for Symphony Harmony rack;overall weight approx 0.72kg

‑ On‑board Resources:512KB ROM firmware storage, 2MB RAM data buffer, protocol processing circuit, hardware self‑diagnosis circuit

‑ Communication Interface:INFI‑NET ring network interface; external RS‑232‑C serial port(max baud rate 19200bps), SCSI high‑speed parallel interface; internal rack back‑plane bus

‑ Galvanic Isolation:Isolation between INFI‑NET side and external computer interface side, suppress external equipment interference to DCS ring network.

‑ Core Function:INFI‑NET ring network and external computer protocol conversion, bidirectional data buffer forwarding, configuration download, process data & alarm event upload, hardware and link fault self‑diagnosis.

‑ Protection:Communication port surge protection.

‑ Status LED Indicators:Module self‑check LED, network status LED, serial/SCSI communication status LED, fault alarm LED.

‑ Weight:approx 0.72kg

Main Functions

‑ INICT03A acts as gateway between INFI‑NET dual‑ring network and external host computer. Two external communication modes: RS‑232‑C serial low‑speed connection, SCSI interface for high‑speed large‑volume data transmission with early engineering workstation.

‑ Realize two‑way data interaction: upload real‑time process point data, alarm messages, sequence‑of‑event records from DCS ring network to host computer; download project configuration, function‑code logic and parameter modification from engineering station to station processors(MFP/BRC).

‑ Built‑in large‑capacity RAM buffer, avoid data loss during network short‑time jitter. Complete self‑diagnosis: detect module hardware failure, INFI‑NET ring break, serial/SCSI link abnormality, fault alarm upload to DCS operator station.

‑ Installed on Symphony Harmony standard rack, cannot work independently, must access INFI‑NET ring network and cooperate with MFP/BRC processors. Communication parameters of RS232 port need consistent with connected host computer.

Difference compared with IMMPI01:IMMPI01 is rack‑local serial/SCSI interface for single station; INICT03A is ring‑network‑level gateway, facing whole INFI‑NET ring network, data throughput capacity is much higher。
Control & Monitoring Function

‑ Complete protocol conversion and bidirectional data forwarding between INFI‑NET ring network and external computer equipment.

‑ Monitor module hardware status, INFI‑NET ring network status and external communication link status, fault information upload to DCS system.

‑ No independent process control logic function, all control algorithm executed by MFP / BRC station processor.

Signal Interfaces

‑ Back‑plane:Rack internal back‑plane bus for module power supply.

‑ External interfaces:INFI‑NET coaxial ring‑network interface; RS‑232‑C serial port; SCSI parallel port.

Environmental Specifications

‑ Mounting:Plug‑in installation on Symphony Harmony standard rack

‑ Operating Temperature:‑20 ℃ ~ +60 ℃

‑ Storage Temperature:‑40 ℃ ~ +85 ℃

‑ Relative Humidity:5‑95 %RH, non‑condensing

‑ Pollution degree:Degree 2

‑ Protection Class:IP20, cabinet‑internal installation.

System Complementary Components
  1. INICT03A INFI‑NET to computer transfer module(3BSE008590R1)
Complementary parts: Symphony Harmony rack, INFI‑NET coaxial cable, MFP / BRC series processor, operator / engineering workstation, SCSI or RS232 communication cable, system rack power supply.
Installation Notes

‑ Insert module into correct slot of Harmony rack, tighten front‑panel locking knob to guarantee reliable back‑plane connector contact.

‑ INFI‑NET coaxial cable wiring must comply with ring‑network specification, terminal resistance shall be configured correctly, prevent ring‑network open‑circuit fault.

‑ When using RS‑232‑C communication, set baud rate, parity bit, data bit, stop bit consistent with host workstation. SCSI cable length shall not exceed specification limit.

‑ Recommend power‑off operation for module replacement. After replacement, verify INFI‑NET ring communication status, test configuration download and real‑time data uploading function.

‑ This module belongs to discontinued legacy hardware, confirm firmware version compatibility when replacing spare‑parts.
