ABB AO2000-LS25 – Modular AO2000 analyzer module for reliable process gas measurements

The ABB AO2000-LS25 sits within the Advance Optima (AO2000) modular gas analysis platform. In many cases, it’s selected as the measurement module where fast, stable photometric/laser-based detection is needed, and it integrates directly into the AO2000 rack or housing with the familiar plug-in form factor. From my experience, plants choose LS-series modules when they want short warm-up, low drift, and clean signal quality without constant recalibration.

Key Features

• AO2000-native module format – Slides into the Advance Optima system, recognized automatically by the central unit for quick commissioning.
• Fast and stable measurement – Designed for rapid response with low signal drift, which typically reduces calibration frequency.
• Robust against process conditions – Optimized optics and internal compensation help maintain accuracy under varying temperature and load.
• Digital connectivity – Compatible with common AO2000 communication options (e.g., Modbus/RS‑485, Profibus-DP) for easy DCS integration.
• Low maintenance design – Long-life emitter/detector concept; routine checks are simple and usually handled during standard shutdowns.
• Flexible application pairing – Works within AO2000 alongside modules such as URAS 26, MAGNOS 206, CALDOS 25, or LIMAS 23 to build multi-component solutions.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

You might notice that facilities running mixed gas streams gravitate to AO2000 modules because they scale well. The AO2000-LS25 is typically deployed in:

• Combustion control and boiler optimization in power & utilities
• Cement preheater and kiln off-gas monitoring
• Waste incineration and emissions lines (extractive sampling)
• Chemical and petrochemical process streams requiring fast response
• Steel and non-ferrous plants for flue and process gas checks

A maintenance lead at a cement plant told us they swapped an older module for an AO2000-LS25 during a short stop; the system auto-recognized it and they were trending again in under an hour. That kind of minimal disruption is, frankly, why the AO2000 ecosystem still sees wide use.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability under load – The module is engineered for continuous-duty, offering stable baselines across varying shifts and seasons.
• Compatibility across AO2000 – Works alongside URAS 26 (NDIR), MAGNOS 206 (paramagnetic O2), CALDOS 25 (thermal conductivity), or LIMAS 23 (UV/VIS) to build exactly the mix you need.
• Lower lifecycle costs – Long-life optics and fewer calibrations typically mean fewer service callouts and spares kept on the shelf.
• Integration-ready – Standard industrial I/O and bus options reduce engineering time when tying into DCS/PLC platforms.
• Support ecosystem – Spares, firmware, and configuration tools remain available for AO2000 users, which seems to be a deciding factor for multi-site companies.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & environment – Mount in an AO2000 rack or housing within a clean, ventilated analyzer cabinet; keep ambient between +5 and +45 °C, non-condensing.
• Wiring – Use shielded cables for analog 4–20 mA and RS‑485 runs; ground per ABB AO2000 guidelines to avoid noise on low-level signals.
• Sample handling – For extractive systems, ensure proper sample conditioning (filters, heaters, moisture control) to protect optics.
• Safety – De-energize the system before module insertion/removal; follow lockout procedures. For optical modules, avoid exposure to internal beams when open.
• Routine care – Visual dust check quarterly; verify zero/span on your regular PM schedule; apply firmware updates from ABB when qualified.
• Calibration – Interval depends on process; many users run verification monthly and full calibration less frequently due to the module’s stability.

Quality & Certifications

• Conformity: CE marked; RoHS-compliant design in most configurations
• Quality system: Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management
• Safety: Meets applicable low voltage and EMC directives for industrial analyzers
• Warranty: 12 months (365 days) standard

Note: Specific measurable components, response time, and accuracy for AO2000-LS25 can vary by configuration. If you share your tag list or target gases, we’ll match the module options and I/O exactly to your application.
