INICT13 ICT13A ABB Infi-Net to Computer Transfer Module

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Communication and Network Interface

The ABB INICT13A operates as an interface module for transferring Infi-Net communication data to computer-based systems within the INFI-90 architecture. The module processes network communication signals through the control system backplane and maintains data exchange between Infi-Net nodes and external computer interfaces.

Additionally, the module follows ABB industrial control hardware design principles, including backplane bus communication handling, module addressing, and firmware compatibility requirements within the supported INFI-90 platform. The design supports integration with existing DCS configurations where ICT13A transfer functions are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary function of the ABB INICT13A module?
A: The INICT13A functions as an Infi-Net to computer transfer module, providing communication transfer between ABB INFI-90 network devices and computer interface systems.

Q: What power requirement does the INICT13A use?
A: The module operates with a 5 VDC supply and has a specified current rating of 2 A.

Q: Can the INICT13A be installed in any ABB control system rack?
A: No. The module requires compatibility with the designated INFI-90 hardware rack and backplane configuration. Verify system slot allocation and hardware documentation before installation.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Install the INICT13A module only in the specified ABB INFI-90 rack position.
• Confirm that the rack power supply provides the required 5 VDC operating voltage before insertion.
• Inspect module connectors and backplane contacts for contamination or mechanical damage.
• Use proper grounding practices for the control cabinet and communication wiring.
• Route communication cables separately from high-voltage power conductors to reduce electrical interference.
• Verify network addressing and configuration parameters before placing the module into service.
