Application Fields

  • Power generation: Used as the main cabinet for WDPF and Ovation DCS in thermal and nuclear power plants to install DPU controllers, I/O modules and redundant power supplies.

  • Process industries: Applied to petrochemical, pulp & paper, cement and other industries for rack-mounted DCS control nodes.

  • Legacy system upgrade and replacement for existing WDPF and Ovation control systems.

Installation & Operation

  1. Fix the chassis on a standard 19-inch EIA rack and reserve sufficient space for ventilation.

  2. Connect 115/230 VAC power to the chassis power port.

  3. Install controllers, I/O modules and power supplies into designated slots following system specifications.

  4. Complete Multibus connection and reliable grounding for multi-chassis networking.

  5. Regularly check fan operation and keep ventilation openings unobstructed.

Diagnosis & Maintenance

  • Green Power LED: AC input is normal.

  • Green Fan LED: Cooling fans operate properly.

  • Red Fault LED: Indicates overheating, fan failure or abnormal backplane voltage.

  • Inspect internal connectors and air filters quarterly. Disconnect all power before maintenance, and wait for capacitors to fully discharge.

Product Status

This product is obsolete. Only new old stock and refurbished units are available for spare parts. It maintains full compatibility with all standard WDPF and Ovation series modules.
