Description

1. Product Overview

3A99163G01G50 is an 8-channel isolated analog input card of Ovation SUB8 Q-series I/O suite, fully compatible with SUB8 bus master modules: 3A99159G03/3A99158G01, matching QBI(3A99160G02), QAO(3A99161G01), QBO(3A99162G01) to complete full SUB8 rack I/O configuration. It converts field 4–20mA analog sensing signals from transmitters, temperature transducers, flow/pressure sensors into digital data and uploads to Ovation DPU for closed-loop monitoring & regulation; suffix G50 stands for factory customized industrial grade enhanced version with reinforced surge protection for heavy EMI harsh site.

2. Electrical Specifications

  • Channel configuration: 8 fully isolated analog input channels, Quad-Bus SUB8 architecture, standard 4–20mA passive loop input

  • Backplane power supply: +5VDC & ±12VDC powered via SUB8 rack backplane; typical power consumption ≤4.2W

  • Galvanic isolation: 1000VAC channel-to-bus isolation; G50 variant adds extra transient surge suppression for power plant high-interference cabinet environment

  • Input loop: Supports 2-wire/3-wire field transmitter power feed; max loop resistance 850Ω per channel

  • Measurement accuracy: ≤0.1% full-scale precision; all-channel refresh cycle ≤2.8ms

  • Built-in diagnostics: Individual channel open-circuit detection, over-range alarm, short-circuit fault diagnosis, all fault codes transmitted to DCS system; G50 improves fault anti-jamming capability

3. Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

  • Form factor: Standard hot-swappable plug-in PCB for SUB8 rack; unified dimension:260mm×100mm×25mm, same as other Q-series I/O cards

  • Operating temperature: -40℃ ~ +70℃; storage: -45℃ ~ +85℃; humidity 5%~95%RH non-condensing; G50 conforms to power plant coal-fired site EMC enhanced standard, CE certified

  • Net weight: ~0.35kg

4. Front Panel LED Definition & Core Features

LED Indicators

  • POWER(Green): Backplane power supply normal

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

  • CH1~CH8 LED: On when corresponding input channel has valid field signal

  • FAULT(Red): Triggered by channel open/overrange/onboard hardware error

Key Functions

  1. Online hot-swap: Module replacement without cutting rack power, no interruption to other I/O modules in same rack

  2. G50 customized upgrade: Extra TVS surge components, optimized PCB layout for high-voltage interference in thermal power, petrochemical plant
