The ABB Bailey NIAI03 is a termination module specifically designed for RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) signal interfacing within the INFI 90 distributed control system. It works in conjunction with the IMASM03 Analog Slave Module to provide reliable, high-accuracy temperature measurements through 3-wire RTD sensors. The NIAI03 acts as a passive interface, linking field devices to the control system for high-resolution analog signal acquisition.

Q2: Which analog slave module is compatible with NIAI03?

A2: The NIAI03 is designed to work with the IMASM03 analog slave module.

Q3: How many RTD channels are supported per module?

A3: Each NIAI03 module supports 8 individual RTD input channels.

Q4: Is this module suitable for high-temperature environments?

A4: It operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 70°C.

Q5: Can it be used in redundant system setups?

A5: Yes, it is compatible with redundant configurations using IMAMM03 and IMASM03.

Q6: What wiring standard is required?

A6: The module uses 3-wire RTD configuration to minimize lead resistance error.

Q7: Is there internal cold-junction compensation?

A7: Compensation is managed by the IMASM03 module, not within NIAI03 itself.
