Description
The BAILEY NTRL02A Fiber Optic Remote I/O Termination Unit is a communication interface module designed for ABB Bailey INFI 90 and Net 90 distributed control systems. It provides fiber optic communication between remote I/O stations and the main control system, enabling reliable long-distance signal transmission in industrial automation environments.
The NTRL02A connects with the IMRIO02 Remote I/O Slave Module and supports fiber optic remote link communication through dedicated TX and RX optical ports. It is designed to provide electrical isolation, noise immunity, and stable data exchange between remote field I/O locations and central controllers.
This termination unit is widely used in power generation, process industries, chemical plants, and other critical automation applications where ABB Bailey INFI 90 systems remain in service. The NTRL02A is commonly maintained as a spare replacement component for existing control installations.
