NIMP01 Binary Output Unit ABB

NIMP01 is a binary output unit launched by ABB, which is a key component in its industrial automation control system (such as ABB 800xA, AC500 series, etc.). This module is mainly used to convert the logic signal inside the control system into the binary control signal of the external device (such as switch output), so as to realize the remote control of relays, solenoid valves, indicator lights, motor contactors and other equipment.

Core functions

Binary signal output

Provides multiple (usually 8-16 channels) independent binary output channels, each of which can output high level (such as 24V DC) or low level (0V) to drive external loads.

Supports source or sink output mode, compatible with different electrical interface requirements.

Status feedback and diagnosis

Real-time monitoring of output channel status (such as short circuit, overload, disconnection), and feedback to the control system through the communication interface for troubleshooting.

Some models support channel-level diagnosis, which can accurately locate the fault point. ABB 336A4976ATP051 Circuit Breakers: Advanced Protection for Industrial Applications

Isolation design

The input/output channels are isolated by photoelectric isolation or transformer isolation to effectively suppress interference and improve system stability.

Hot-swap support

Some configurations support live plugging and unplugging, which is convenient for online maintenance and expansion.

Technical parameters

Number of output channels: 8 channels (

Output type: transistor output (NPN/PNP optional) or relay output

Load voltage: DC 24V (common) or AC 220V (relay output type)

Load current: 0.5-2A per channel (transistor type) or 5-10A (relay type)

Response time: <10ms (typical value)

Communication protocol: PROFIBUS-DP, Modbus RTU/TCP, EtherCAT, etc. (depending on the configuration)

Protection level: IP20 (rack-mounted)
