ABB YPI105C – Industrial Interface Input Module

General Description
The ABB YPI105C is an industrial interface input module engineered for reliable signal acquisition within ABB automation and control systems. It is designed to receive, condition, and transmit field-level input signals to the control unit, ensuring accurate data processing in demanding industrial environments. With its robust construction and stable performance, this module is suitable for continuous operation in mission-critical applications.

Functional Role in Automation Systems

Within an ABB control architecture, the YPI105C serves as a bridge between field devices and the central controller. It collects input signals from sensors, switches, and monitoring devices, converting them into readable data for the PLC or control processor. This enables precise control logic execution and real-time system feedback.
