Infi-Net to Plant Loop Local Transfer Module, IPL Driver, part of INIPL01 (also part no YINIPT01, PINIPT01).
The Bailey Controls INIPT01 (manufactured by ABB) is the Infi-Net to Plant Loop Transfer Module used within the Bailey INFI 90 and NETWORK 90 Distributed Control Systems (DCS). It facilitates seamless, real-time communication and data transfer between the high-speed Infi-Net network and local plant process loops.
Key Features & Applications:
- Interoperability: Connects various distributed control system components so they can exchange control signals and operational data.
- Gateway Tasks: Performs complex gateway functions to integrate field devices, requiring specific function code configurations (such as Function Codes 200 and 201) to operate.
- System Integration: Translates data seamlessly so operators can monitor and direct plant-level control loops.
