Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey IMSER02 Event Sequence Logger Module is a specialized diagnostic module used in ABB’s INFI 90 distributed control system. Its primary function is to record chronological sequences of operational events within the control network.
When process changes occur—such as alarms, equipment trips, or operator commands—the module logs these events with accurate timestamps. This data allows engineers to reconstruct operational scenarios and identify root causes of system disturbances.
In industries where process reliability and safety are critical, event sequence logging is an essential function. The IMSER02 module supports this requirement by providing reliable event recording capabilities within large-scale distributed control systems.
