4256A64G01 / 3A99163G01 G50 Emerson Ovation WDPF DCS High Precision RTD Temperature Acquisition Board

4256A64G01 is the legacy Westinghouse drawing part number, 3A99163G01 is Emerson’s official aftermarket spare part number, and G50 stands for the hardware revision version. All identifiers correspond to the identical high-precision RTD temperature acquisition board, which is designed to work with 4256A25 series MRC main remote control boards and 4256A26 remote expansion boards for Ovation WDPF DCS remote I/O racks.

Description

This module is dedicated to acquiring resistance temperature detector signals such as PT100 and PT1000 from industrial field equipment. It implements signal filtering, constant current excitation, galvanic isolation and built-in temperature conversion algorithms, transmitting high-accuracy digital temperature data to the DCS main controller. The board supports 2-wire, 3-wire and 4-wire RTD wiring modes with automatic lead resistance compensation to eliminate measurement errors caused by long-distance field cables. Each channel adopts fully independent isolation circuits to avoid signal crosstalk among different temperature measurement loops. It features plug-and-play compatibility with all matched MRC master and expansion boards, requiring no modification of system configuration during replacement.
Constructed with multi-layer high-temperature resistant FR-4 industrial PCB and full enclosed electromagnetic shielding structure, every signal channel provides 1000V AC/DC galvanic isolation between field wiring terminals and internal logic circuits. It effectively resists severe electromagnetic noise generated by inverters, high-voltage switchgears and large rotating machinery in thermal power, petrochemical and metallurgical heavy industrial environments. Each unit undergoes comprehensive factory validation: 72-hour high-low temperature cyclic aging test, full-channel temperature precision calibration, long-term full-load bus communication burn-in and channel open/short circuit fault simulation. It supports single-slot hot-swappable installation without shutting down the entire DCS system, and integrates multi-level hardware protections including surge suppression, overvoltage, overcurrent, reverse polarity prevention and short-circuit protection. Independent LED diagnostic indicators clearly display power supply status, bus link state and single-channel sensor fault alarms for fast on-site troubleshooting, greatly enhancing the accuracy and long-term operational stability of industrial process temperature monitoring.
