New Appliance Module Migrates ABB Bailey DCS Data to Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PACs  

Knoxville, TN – New cATM-BLY90 appliance transaction modules make it easier to migrate legacy ABB Bailey Infi 90 or Network 90 DCS to ControlLogix PACs from Rockwell Automation. The cATM-BLY90 positions ControlLogix PACs for phased implementation to eliminate many of the costs, risks and complexities involved with migrating DCS systems. ControlLogix PACs provide a single platform for integrating both process and discrete applications. Once Bailey Infi 90 or Network 90 system data is available within a ControlLogix PAC, other Rockwell Automation applications such as FactoryTalk View SE can be used for visualization of the data, alarming, and other functions.

cATM-BLY90 modules do not require any hardware or software changes to installed ABB Bailey Infi 90 or Network 90 DCS, enabling a phased migration to ContolLogix PACs and the FactoryTalk suite as schedule and budget allows. These modules support all existing DCS block functions including exception reporting, supervisory control and system status monitoring. Each module is capable of processing up to 5,000 blocks of data.  The cATM-BLY90 connects to the Bailey system through an ABB Bailey CIU interface.
