ABB Bailey LMUSM02 Universal Simulation Module

The ABB Bailey LMUSM02 Universal Simulation Module is a specialized hardware module designed for simulation and diagnostic testing in process control systems. Belonging to the legacy INFI 90 and Bailey Net 90 DCS platforms, this module plays a crucial role in allowing plant engineers and technicians to simulate field inputs during maintenance, commissioning, and troubleshooting without needing live process signals.

With its robust construction and high precision, the LMUSM02 provides controlled analog and digital signal simulation to I/O modules, enabling verification of control strategies, system responses, and alarm conditions. It is particularly valuable during factory acceptance tests (FAT), training environments, and during live system diagnostics where isolating real-time process input is not feasible.

The module’s versatility and reliability make it a vital tool in any industrial plant relying on ABB Bailey control systems, especially in sectors like oil and gas, petrochemicals, energy, and water treatment.
