The SPCIS22 is a high-performance control input/output interface module designed for ABB’s Symphony Plus and Harmony rack-based control systems. It offloads real-time discrete logic execution from the central controller by handling local I/O scanning, interlocking, and command sequencing directly within the I/O chassis. This distributed intelligence architecture reduces system latency and enhances reliability in mission-critical applications such as thermal power plants, water/wastewater facilities, and industrial process skids.
Unlike basic I/O modules, the SPCIS22 integrates embedded processing capabilities that allow it to evaluate field inputs (e.g., limit switches, valve feedback, motor status) and drive outputs (e.g., solenoids, contactor coils) based on preloaded logic—without waiting for host CPU cycles. This makes it ideal for fast-response safety interlocks or equipment sequencing where deterministic timing is essential.

FAQ
Q: Is the SPCIS22 a standalone controller?
A: No—it operates as an intelligent I/O slave under the supervision of a Harmony or AC 800M controller but can execute preprogrammed discrete logic independently for speed-critical functions.
Q: Can it replace older INFI 90 IMDSI modules?
A: Functionally, yes—in many cases the SPCIS22 serves as a modern equivalent with enhanced diagnostics and faster response, though wiring and configuration must be validated during migration.
Q: Does it support hot-swap?
A: Yes, when installed in a Harmony rack with hot-swap enabled in system configuration. The module reports presence and readiness via the backplane protocol.
