Emerson Ovation 3A99162G01 QBO Digital Output Module (SUB8 Quad Bus DO Card, alternate part:2840A79G01)

3A99162G01 is 16-channel solid-state digital output card belonging to Ovation SUB8 Q-line I/O family, matched with SUB8 bus master cards 3A99158G02 /3A99159G03, DI card 3A99160G02 and AO card 3A99161G01 for full SUB8 rack configuration. It converts digital control commands from Ovation DPU into field switching signals to drive intermediate relays, solenoid valves, motor contactor coils, field indicator lamps and on-off actuators in thermal power, petrochemical DCS systems.

Description

1. Product Overview

3A99162G01 is 16-channel solid-state digital output card belonging to Ovation SUB8 Q-line I/O family, matched with SUB8 bus master cards 3A99158G02 /3A99159G03, DI card 3A99160G02 and AO card 3A99161G01 for full SUB8 rack configuration. It converts digital control commands from Ovation DPU into field switching signals to drive intermediate relays, solenoid valves, motor contactor coils, field indicator lamps and on-off actuators in thermal power, petrochemical DCS systems.

2. Electrical Specifications

  • Channel layout: 16 isolated digital output channels grouped in Quad-Bus architecture, solid-state transistor non-contact output design

  • Rated field load: 24VDC dry/wet contact drive; single channel max continuous load current 0.5A, inrush surge current limited internally

  • Backplane power supply: +5VDC & ±12VDC fed via SUB8 rack backplane; typical power consumption ≤3.9W

  • Galvanic isolation: 1000VAC isolation between field output loops and internal Quad-Bus backplane for anti-EMI & surge suppression

  • Per-channel protection: built-in overcurrent, short-circuit automatic cutoff protection; circuit fault diagnosed and uploaded to DPU

  • Scan cycle: Full 16-channel command refresh ≤2ms, compatible with Ovation SOE event sequence recording function

3. Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

  • Form factor: Standard plug-in SUB8 rack module, unified dimension:260mm×100mm×25mm; supports online hot-swap without rack power shutdown

  • Operating ambient: -40℃ ~ +70℃; storage temperature: -45℃ ~ +85℃; humidity 5%~95%RH non-condensing, CE industrial EMC certified

  • Net weight: approx 0.345kg

4. Front Panel LED Indicators & Core Features

LED Status Definition

  • POWER(Green): Normal backplane power input

  • RUN(Green): Healthy Quad-Bus communication with SUB8 master card

  • CH1~CH16 individual LED: Illuminates when corresponding output channel is switched ON

  • FAULT(Red): Alarm for channel short-circuit, over-load or onboard hardware failure

Key Functional Highlights

  1. Hot-swap maintenance: Single card replacement online without affecting other I/O modules on same rack

  2. Channel independent diagnostics: Short/open/overload fault reported to DCS for real-time system alarm

  3. Redundant bus compatible: Fully works with redundant 3A99159G03 master cards for SUB8 dual-bus redundant configuration

  4. Software configurable: Set fail-safe status (ON/OFF hold) and output delay filtering via Ovation Developer configuration software

5. Typical Industrial Application

  • On-off control of boiler auxiliary fans, coal feeder, soot blower solenoid valves in thermal power plants

  • Interlock control of shutdown valves, pump on-off contactors in refining & chemical process units

  • Motor start/stop logic output and field status lamp driving for metallurgy and waste incineration DCS control
