ABB NIMP01 Multi‑Function Processor Termination Module

The NIMP01 is a plug‑in termination module for ABB Bailey INFI‑90 / Symphony legacy DCS system. It serves as external serial communication interface termination unit for MFP multi‑function processor (IMMFP series). It provides two optically‑isolated RS‑232‑C ports, one of which can be jumper‑configured as non‑isolated RS‑485 port. It connects multi‑function processor to external devices such as operator control stations, host computers, printers and event sequence recorders. This is discontinued legacy hardware, mainly used for spare‑parts replacement of old power and chemical plant DCS systems. Not hot‑swappable

‑ Core Function:serial signal termination, electrical isolation, physical interface conversion between MFP processor and external serial devices

‑ Protection:serial‑port surge‑suppression protection

‑ Status LED Indicators:Power indicator, Module Fault indicator, communication channel status LED

‑ Weight:approx 0.82 kg

Main Functions

‑ Matches with IMMFP series multi‑function processor, provides physical serial interface channel for DCS controller.

‑ Supports connection to analog control stations (IISAC01), upper‑level host computer, printer and sequence‑of‑event recording equipment via RS‑232‑C / RS‑485 serial link.

‑ Hardware jumper selection: one channel can switch between RS‑232‑C isolated mode and RS‑485 non‑isolated mode for multi‑drop bus connection.

‑ Provides electrical isolation between controller internal logic and external serial equipment, suppresses field electromagnetic interference.

‑ Module self‑diagnosis monitors back‑plane power supply and hardware circuit, reports fault status to MFP processor.

‑ Cannot run independently; must cooperate with MFP multi‑function processor and INFI‑90 PCU rack. NIMP01 belongs to legacy DCS hardware, only compatible with INFI‑90 / Symphony‑Harmony system.

Control & Monitoring Function

‑ Continuously monitors back‑plane power supply and on‑board hardware status. Fault will trigger fault LED and report fault word to MFP processor.

‑ No local historical‑data storage; module status and fault codes are read through DCS system or commissioning tool.

‑ Module hardware failure will cause loss of external serial communication channel of corresponding MFP processor; DCS internal control logic still runs normally.

Communication Interfaces

‑ Back‑plane connector: inserts into PCU rack slot, communicates with IMMFP multi‑function processor via rack internal bus.

‑ Front‑panel serial ports: RS‑232‑C / RS‑485 interfaces for connecting external field devices.

Environmental Specifications

‑ Mounting:insert into standard INFI‑90 PCU card rack slot

‑ Operating Temperature:‑10 ℃ ~ +60 ℃

‑ Storage Temperature:‑40 ℃ ~ +70 ℃

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

‑ Protection Class:IP20, cabinet‑internal installation.

System Complementary Components
  1. NIMP01 multi‑function processor termination module
Complementary parts: INFI‑90 PCU card rack, IMMFPxx multi‑function processor, serial communication cables, external serial devices (control station, host computer, printer).
Installation Notes

‑ Power off PCU rack before inserting or removing this module. Set hardware jumpers according to actual communication mode (RS‑232‑C / RS‑485). Incorrect jumper setting will lead to communication failure.

‑ For spare‑part replacement: verify model NIMP01; after installation check back‑plane power supply, verify serial‑port data interaction with external equipment. Hardware version mismatch may cause communication abnormality.

‑ Module fault results in failure of external serial communication for matched MFP processor.

Typical Application Scenarios
