Functional Features

System compatibility: ABB NTAI04 is designed to work seamlessly with ABB's control systems, especially the Bailey INFI 90 and Net 90 distributed control systems. Achieving this seamless integration enables efficient communication between field devices and IT and control systems. Users of ABB DCS can also integrate it into existing systems without major incompatibility issues. But it is not limited to ABB systems. It can interface with any other third-party control system as long as the correct communication protocol and signal level are matched.

Sensors: ABB NTAI04 connects to a wide range of sensors, current outputs, and resistance temperature detectors. It becomes even more useful in industrial applications where multiple types of sensors are used to measure different process parameters. For example, in a chemical plant, temperature can be measured using an RTD, pressure can be measured using a pressure sensor that outputs a current signal, and level can be measured using an ultrasonic sensor that outputs a voltage signal. Such functionality allows the use of multiple types of sensors to monitor the process because it can process signals from all these different types of sensors.

Easy installation: ABB NTAI04 is a user-friendly product. Everything is clearly labeled and has time-saving connection points for technicians to simply pick up the incoming signal. It makes installation much easier as only simple tools are required. Even people without extensive expertise in installing such equipment can easily follow the setup guide, which greatly reduces installation time and cost.

Rugged construction: ABB NTAI04 is built to last thanks to its high-quality aluminum housing. The aluminum housing protects the device from mechanical damage, such as shock and vibration common in industrial environments. It also plays a role in heat dissipation, keeping the device at the correct operating temperature. The internal parts also need to be high quality so that the device can work reliably for many years.

Application areas

Manufacturing: ABB NTAI04 interconnects sensors with control systems in manufacturing plant automation accounts. Thus, data is received through sensors industrial machinery equipped in manufacturing plants that detect the position of parts on the assembly line, the temperature of welding tools, the pressure in hydraulic control systems, and more. The technology ensures that the robotic arm moves exactly where it needs to, the conveyor belt runs at the correct speed, and the various processes run smoothly. This helps to increase production efficiency, minimize errors, and improve product quality.

Industrial: ABB NTAI04 plays an important role in the process industry, where it is used to interconnect sensors that measure process variables such as temperature, pressure, flow, and chemical composition in chemical plants. These signals are processed and uploaded to the DCS for real-time and precise control of chemical reactions, distillation processes, and other operations. It can also enhance signals from sensors that monitor temperature and humidity during food storage and fill levels of packaging machines, thereby contributing to product safety and quality control in food and beverage plants.

Power plants: ABB NTAI04 can be used for monitoring and control of power plants, whether thermal, hydroelectric, or solar. In thermal power plants, it receives analog signals from sensors that monitor boiler steam temperature and pressure, fuel flow, and even turbine vibration. These signals are then processed and sent to the power plant's control system, which uses this information to optimize power generation methods, combustion chamber control, and ensure safe operation of the plant. In hydroelectric power plants, it processes signals from sensors that measure water level, flow, and turbine speed, allowing for more efficient control of electricity.
