Product Introduction

The ABB Bailey NGCM02 Gateway Communications Module is an advanced communication gateway designed to integrate Bailey INFI 90 and Harmony Series DCS systems with external industrial networks and modern control platforms. Building on the capabilities of its predecessor NGCM01, this module offers greater performance, higher throughput, enhanced diagnostics, and expanded protocol support.

The NGCM02 serves as a critical component for plants looking to modernize legacy automation infrastructures while maintaining the reliability and precision of their original Bailey control systems. It enables seamless data exchange between DCS controllers, SCADA, MES, ERP systems, and third-party devices — delivering interoperability and future-proofing for process industries.

Applications

The NGCM02 plays a pivotal role in numerous industries by facilitating the integration of DCS environments with various automation layers:

• Oil & Gas
  Enables integration of upstream, midstream, and downstream systems with SCADA and historian servers.

• Power Generation
  Interfaces turbines, balance of plant (BOP) equipment, and grid networks.

• Chemical & Petrochemical
  Provides seamless connectivity between older Bailey control systems and MES/ERP systems for advanced manufacturing.

• Metals & Mining
  Supports monitoring and optimization of crushing, grinding, and refining processes.

• Pulp & Paper
  Facilitates communication between legacy machine drives and plant-wide control systems.

• Pharmaceutical
  Ensures secure, validated communication between process control and enterprise IT systems.

• Water & Wastewater
  Provides secure remote monitoring and control of water treatment plants and distribution networks.
