Description
The part number IMASI23 refers to an analog input module manufactured by Bailey Controls / ABB (commonly associated with the INFI 90 and Symphony Harmony Distributed Control System platforms).
Product Overview
-
Manufacturer: Bailey Controls / ABB
-
Part Number / Model: IMASI23 (Analog Slave Input Module – ASI)
-
Component Type: Universal Analog Input Module
-
Platform: INFI 90 / Symphony Harmony DCS
Key Specifications & Features
-
Channel Capacity: Features 16 independent analog input channels, with each channel equipped with its own dedicated analog-to-digital (A/D) converter.
-
High-Resolution Conversion: Provides up to 24-bit resolution for precise conversion and measurement accuracy across process signals.
-
Supported Signal Types: Universally configurable per channel to handle a wide array of field signals, including:
-
Thermocouples (TC)
-
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs, e.g., 3-wire)
-
Millivolt ($\text{mV}$) sources
-
High-level voltage and current loops (such as $4\text{–}20\text{ mA}$ via termination hardware)
-
-
Onboard Diagnostics: Features built-in detection for overrange, underrange, and open-circuit field wiring conditions across all input channels.
-
System Bus Integration: Mounts directly into a standard Harmony rack module mounting unit (MMU) and communicates with the central controller via the I/O expander bus. It typically interfaces with field signals through an external termination unit (such as the NTAI06) using a dedicated multiconductor cable.
Industrial Deployment
-
Applications: Widely deployed in heavy process industries, power generation plants, and continuous manufacturing facilities utilizing ABB / Bailey INFI 90 or Symphony Harmony DCS architecture to reliably gather, process, and condition critical analog sensor metrics (like temperature, pressure, and flow).

Product Overview
IMASI23 is a 16-channel Universal Analog Input Slave Module manufactured by ABB Bailey for the INFI 90 / Symphony Harmony Distributed Control System. Installed inside the Harmony rack, it collects field analog process signals, performs signal conditioning and high-resolution A/D conversion, and transmits digital data to system processors via the internal control bus.
It supports multiple types of low-level and standard industrial signals, widely used for temperature, pressure, flow and liquid level monitoring in power plants, chemical and pulp & paper legacy DCS systems. The corresponding successor model is SPASI23.
