Product Overview
The ABB Bailey NKST01-10 INFI 90 SOE Time Synchronization Cable is a dedicated cable used in an ABB Bailey INFI 90 control system for Sequence of Events (SOE) time synchronization.
SOE applications depend on accurate event timing. When several field conditions change within a short period, the control system needs to distinguish not only which event occurred, but also the order and timing of those events. The NKST01-10 forms part of the physical connection used to distribute or carry the required timing information within the INFI 90 architecture.
A practical example is a power-generation or process-control installation where several protective or equipment-status signals change during an abnormal condition. Events such as breaker operation, trip status, alarm contacts, motor states, or protection-related signals may need to be recorded in sequence. Time synchronization allows engineers to reconstruct the event more accurately during post-event analysis.
The NKST01-10 is therefore different from an ordinary field cable used simply to carry a process signal. Its value comes from its role in the SOE timing infrastructure of the control system.
The specified cable length is 10 feet, making it suitable where the connected INFI 90 components are located within this physical distance.

Working Principle
The NKST01-10 functions as part of the physical timing path used by the INFI 90 SOE system.
The basic relationship can be represented as:
Time Synchronization Source → NKST01-10 → Compatible INFI 90 Hardware → SOE Event Timing
The important point in an SOE system is that event information needs a common time reference. If two equipment-status signals change almost simultaneously, the control system needs a consistent timing reference to establish their sequence.
For example:
Equipment Trip → Status Contact Changes → SOE System Records Event → Common Time Reference Applied → Event Sequence Available for Analysis
The cable itself does not perform the event analysis. It carries the synchronization connection required by the surrounding INFI 90 hardware.
During troubleshooting, the cable should therefore be considered together with the connected synchronization hardware. A missing or incorrect time reference can affect the usefulness of SOE records even when the individual field contacts and I/O channels are operating normally.
Role in an INFI 90 SOE Architecture
The NKST01-10 belongs to the timing and event-recording infrastructure rather than the conventional process I/O signal path.
Time Reference → Synchronization Connection → INFI 90 SOE Infrastructure → Event Records
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| ABB Bailey NKST01-10 | Carries SOE time synchronization connection |
| INFI 90 Control System | Provides process-control functions |
| SOE Hardware | Records sequence-of-events information |
| Time Synchronization Source | Establishes the common timing reference |
| I/O Hardware | Detects field events |
| Field Contacts | Generate equipment-status changes |
| Protection Devices | Generate trip or abnormal-condition events |
| Controller / Process Logic | Processes system information |
| Operator Interface | Displays process and event information |
Accurate event timing becomes particularly useful when several devices respond during the same disturbance.
SOE Event Recording
Sequence-of-events systems are commonly used where the order of state changes matters.
Examples include:
| Event Type | Typical Significance |
|---|---|
| Breaker Trip | Indicates electrical equipment operation |
| Motor Trip | Indicates equipment shutdown |
| Valve Status Change | Indicates process-equipment movement |
| Alarm Contact | Records abnormal equipment condition |
| Protection Signal | Indicates protective action |
| Interlock Change | Identifies a control-condition transition |
| Equipment Start | Records operating-state transition |
| Equipment Stop | Records shutdown sequence |
A common time reference allows these individual events to be compared within the same event timeline.
For maintenance engineers, this can make a difference when investigating whether a trip occurred before an interlock, whether an alarm preceded equipment shutdown, or whether several devices changed state at nearly the same time.
Industrial Applications
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Power Generation | SOE timing and disturbance analysis |
| Power Distribution | Breaker and protection event recording |
| Oil and Gas | Equipment and alarm sequence analysis |
| Chemical Processing | Process-event timing |
| Petrochemical Plants | Trip and interlock investigation |
| Water Treatment | Equipment-status event recording |
| Industrial Utilities | Time-correlated equipment events |
| Process Automation | Sequence-of-events monitoring |
Installation and Maintenance
The NKST01-10 should be treated as part of the complete synchronization connection rather than as a generic replacement cable.
- Confirm the complete NKST01-10 model.
- Verify that the existing system requires an INFI 90 SOE time synchronization cable.
- Check the cable length requirement.
- Identify both connection points before removal.
- Document the existing cable routing.
- Inspect connectors for damage or contamination.
- Check for excessive bending or mechanical stress.
- Inspect the cable jacket for cuts or deformation.
- Verify that the replacement cable follows the same routing.
- Confirm connector seating after installation.
- Keep the cable separated from sources of unnecessary mechanical or electrical interference where applicable.
- Check the SOE synchronization status after installation.
- Verify that the connected INFI 90 hardware receives the expected timing information.
- Review event timestamps after the system returns to operation.
- Confirm that new SOE events are recorded correctly.
- Compare event timing with known equipment operations where practical.
- Record the replacement in the maintenance documentation.
If SOE timestamps become abnormal after a cable replacement, check the complete synchronization path rather than assuming that the event-recording hardware itself has failed.

Technical FAQs
Why is time synchronization important in an SOE system?
SOE records are most useful when events from different parts of the control system share a consistent time reference. This allows engineers to determine the order of closely spaced events during trips, alarms, interlock actions, and equipment disturbances.
What should be checked before replacing an NKST01-10?
Verify the complete part number, the required 10-foot cable length, the two connection points, and the existing routing. Connector compatibility should also be confirmed before installation.
Can a synchronization-cable problem affect SOE analysis even when the I/O modules are working?
Yes. Field inputs may continue detecting equipment states while the timing reference used for event correlation is incorrect or unavailable. In that situation, the event data may not have the expected timing relationship.
How can engineers verify the NKST01-10 after replacement?
Check the physical connections first, then verify the synchronization status of the associated INFI 90 hardware. After the system is operational, review newly generated SOE events and compare their timestamps with known equipment operations to confirm that the timing path is functioning as expected.
