NDSI02 Migration Planning Checklist
A practical, manufacturer-based checklist for checking voltage, termination hardware, shared commons, event timing and cabinet changes before an NDSI02 migration.
The ABB Bailey NDSI02 is a 16-channel digital input module used in legacy INFI 90 installations. ABB migration material identifies SPDSI22 as the Harmony Rack I/O replacement, but this should not be treated as a blind one-for-one field swap. The correct migration depends on the installed signal voltage, field termination, wiring commons, configuration and sequence-of-events requirements.
This guide turns those engineering checks into a purchasing and maintenance workflow. It is especially useful when a plant has only an old spare label, an incomplete bill of materials or an urgent shutdown request.
Official NDSI02 to SPDSI22 Mapping
| Item | NDSI02 | Migration Check |
|---|---|---|
| Function | 16-channel digital input | Confirm every used channel and spare point. |
| Signal ranges | 24 VDC, 125 VDC or 120 VAC | Do not order from the module number alone; verify field voltage. |
| Harmony Rack replacement | SPDSI22 | Review termination, wiring and configuration before installation. |
| Termination reference | FC84 | Confirm the installed termination unit and cable. |
Five Checks Before You Order
Record the complete installed data
Photograph the module label, termination unit, cable identification and cabinet slot. Record firmware or drawing references if the maintenance file contains them.
Verify AC or DC and nominal level
The NDSI02 family application covers 24 VDC, 125 VDC and 120 VAC signals. Measure and document the actual circuit; do not infer voltage from wire color.
Check channel pairs 7/8 and 15/16
ABB notes that these channel pairs share a common on the termination unit. Each pair must use the same voltage source. Mixed sources can require wiring changes.
Confirm FC84 and the cable path
Verify the installed field termination assembly, connector condition, cable keying, grounding and enclosure space. A module match alone does not guarantee a cabinet-level match.
Review configuration and SOE needs
Preserve channel logic, alarm meaning and fail-state behavior. If sequence-of-events recording is required, choose the alternative with the correct timing capability.
Harmony Rack or Symphony DIN?
SPDSI22 is the straightforward Harmony Rack direction in ABB's mapping. A broader modernization may instead use a Symphony DIN digital input option. That decision is not a simple part-number substitution because cabinet hardware, termination, wiring, configuration and commissioning scope can change.
| Alternative | Signal Application | SOE Capability Shown by ABB | Typical Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPDSI22 | Harmony Rack replacement path | Confirm for the installed system | Retain rack-based architecture |
| DI01 | 24/48 VDC | 1 ms SOE | Fast event recording |
| DI02 | 120 VAC / 125 VDC | 10 ms SOE | Higher-voltage field inputs |
| DI03 | 24 VDC | No SOE | Standard 24 VDC input |
| DI04 | 48 VDC | No SOE | Standard 48 VDC input |
Is SPDSI22 a Complete Drop-in Replacement?
Not automatically. It is the manufacturer-mapped Harmony Rack replacement, but "replacement" does not mean that every field installation is plug-and-play. A safe change requires verification of the termination hardware, channel assignments, field voltage, shared commons, system configuration and commissioning tests.
- Back up the controller and I/O configuration before shutdown.
- Create a point-to-point list showing old channel, field device, voltage and new channel.
- Test cable continuity, insulation condition and commons with power isolated.
- Perform controlled loop checks and verify normal, alarm and fault states.
- Document the final wiring and installed revision for future maintenance.
What to Send for a Faster RFQ
- Exact part number and clear nameplate photographs
- Quantity, required condition and destination country
- Input voltage and whether the signal is AC or DC
- Termination unit and cable part numbers
- Controller/rack information and current configuration
- Required delivery date, warranty and testing documentation

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the manufacturer-mapped replacement for NDSI02?
ABB migration material maps NDSI02 to SPDSI22 for a Harmony Rack I/O replacement path. The installed termination, wiring and configuration must still be checked.
2. Can SPDSI22 replace NDSI02 without wiring changes?
Do not assume that it can. Verify FC84 termination, channel allocation, voltage source, shared commons and cabinet wiring before approving the migration.
3. Which NDSI02 channel pairs share a common?
ABB notes that channels 7/8 and 15/16 share commons on the termination unit. Each pair must use the same voltage source.
4. What Symphony DIN options are listed for this function?
The migration material lists DI01, DI02, DI03 and DI04, selected by field voltage and sequence-of-events requirements.
5. What information should be included in an NDSI02 RFQ?
Send the full part number, quantity, condition, input voltage, termination and cable numbers, cabinet photos, destination and requested delivery date.
