1C31181G01

Product Introduction The 1C31181G01 is an Ovation remote I/O hybrid module originally manufactured by Westinghouse (Emerson Ovation DCS). It integrates 16-channel analog input plus dual serial communication ports for collecting standard transmitter signals and communicating with third-party smart instruments or Modbus devices. Widely deployed in thermal power and petrochemical process control as spare part.
