Emerson Ovation 3A99163G05 QAX 12-Channel Analog Input Module | Alternate PN:4256A64G05

3A99163G05 is SUB8 Quad-Bus QAX series 12-channel dedicated voltage analog input card, successor variant of QAI G01/G02 (8CH model) within Ovation SUB8 I/O family, exclusively designed for 0~5VDC direct voltage input, compatible with SUB8 bus master modules 3A99158G01 / 3A99159G03, matching QBI(3A99160G02), QAO(3A99161G01), QBO(3A99162G01) to build full SUB8 rack configuration. It collects DC voltage signals from split RTD/TC signal converters, potentiometer transmitters and voltage-type field sensors, converts analog signals into digital data and transmits to Ovation DPU for process monitoring & closed-loop control.

Description

1. Product Introduction

3A99163G05 is SUB8 Quad-Bus QAX series 12-channel dedicated voltage analog input card, successor variant of QAI G01/G02 (8CH model) within Ovation SUB8 I/O family, exclusively designed for 0~5VDC direct voltage input, compatible with SUB8 bus master modules 3A99158G01 / 3A99159G03, matching QBI(3A99160G02), QAO(3A99161G01), QBO(3A99162G01) to build full SUB8 rack configuration. It collects DC voltage signals from split RTD/TC signal converters, potentiometer transmitters and voltage-type field sensors, converts analog signals into digital data and transmits to Ovation DPU for process monitoring & closed-loop control.
Note: G05 = fixed 12CH 0~5V voltage-only input definition; separate G50 suffix version: 3A99163G05G50 = factory enhanced anti-surge industrial upgrade for high EMI power plant cabinets.

2. Electrical Specifications

4. Front Panel LED Definition & Core Features

LED Indicator Description

  • POWER(Green): Normal backplane power feed

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

  • CH1~CH12 LED: Illuminate when valid 0~5V analog signal detected on corresponding channel

  • FAULT(Red): Activated by channel open/overrange or module internal hardware malfunction

Core Functional Highlights

  1. Online hot-swap: Module replacement without rack power cut, no disturbance to other adjacent I/O cards in same SUB8 rack

  2. Fixed-range design: Hardware-locked 0~5V input, no software range switching (differentiated from G02 universal mA/V model)

  3. G50 reinforced option: Optimized PCB anti-interference layout plus extra surge components for high voltage interference site

  4. Dual-redundant bus compatible: Fully applicable to redundant master card(3A99159G03) SUB8 redundant control system

  5. Software configurable: Digital filter coefficient, upper/lower process alarm thresholds adjustable via Ovation Developer configuration tool

5. Typical Application Scenarios

  • Thermal power plant: RTD/thermocouple temperature converter output signal collection, displacement transmitter voltage sampling, auxiliary equipment analog voltage monitoring

  • Petrochemical plant: Potentiometer-type valve feedback signal, split converter output voltage acquisition

  • Waste-to-energy & water treatment: Multi-channel temperature conversion voltage centralized acquisition
