Overview

The ABB NIMP01 (also known as NIMPO1) is a multi-function processor termination module designed for use in ABB’s INFI 90 control architecture. It serves as a structured interface between the processor and field wiring, ensuring signal integrity, isolation, and organized termination for both control and communication lines.

This module plays a critical role in maintaining stable processor-to-I/O connectivity, making it ideal for systems in demanding industrial applications, such as power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing automation. The rack-mounted installation option provides ease of integration into existing control cabinets, making it a convenient solution for modernizing or expanding existing systems.

Key Specifications

Typical Applications

The NIMP01 module is widely used in ABB INFI 90 DCS systems for managing processor signal termination. Some typical applications include:

• Power Plants: Interfaces between turbine control processors and field devices such as sensors and actuators.

• Chemical Facilities: Routes analog and digital signals between process controllers and field instruments.

• Manufacturing Automation: Ensures clean and efficient signal termination for high-speed control loops, improving signal quality and system reliability.

The robust design and compatibility with ABB's legacy systems make the NIMP01 an ideal choice for system upgrades and maintenance. Its ability to handle both new installations and retrofits ensures long-term usability in existing INFI 90 control systems.
