II. Core Functional Characteristics

1. Dual Base Compatibility Drive, Wide Adaptability for High-power Loads

Utilizing a dedicated relay coil drive circuit, it can be adapted to two mainstream relay base types: 16-channel G2R Relay Base (1C31223G01) and 12-channel KUEP Relay Base (1C31222G01), flexibly matching different point-load control requirements.

The drive capability is strong, with a single module capable of driving 16 G2R relays or 12 KUEP relays' coils. The rated load capacity of the relay contacts is up to AC 250V/10A, DC 30V/10A, which can directly drive large-power equipment such as large electromagnetic valves, contactors, three-phase motors, pumps, fans, etc., meeting the requirements of industrial high-power control scenarios.

Output adopts an active drive + passive dry contact combination design, with the coil drive side and the contact side completely electrically isolated. The isolation withstand voltage is 2500V AC, preventing strong current interference from entering the control system and preventing faults on the load side from affecting system operation, ensuring electrical safety.

2. Industrial-level Electrical Protection, High Reliability in Harsh Environments

Built-in multiple levels of surge suppression and TVS transient protection, each drive channel is equipped with an independent surge absorption circuit, capable of withstanding ±6kV surge impact, effectively resisting inductive load disconnection's reverse electromotive force, lightning interference, and grid fluctuations, protecting the module drive circuit and relay coil safety.

It has overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit, reverse connection protection functions, and is equipped with replaceable fuses (G2R base: 1.0A/250V fast fuse, KUEP base: 2.0A/250V fast fuse), automatically cutting off the drive and triggering fault alarms when the load is abnormal, avoiding module burnout.

ESD protection: ±20kV, tolerating industrial site static interference; working temperature range: -20℃ to +60℃, storage temperature range: -40℃ to +85℃, relative humidity 5%–95% RH (no condensation), passing ISA-S71.04 Class G3 pollution grade certification, tolerant of corrosive gases, salt spray environment, suitable for turbine compartments, outdoor cabinets, explosion-proof areas, etc., extreme conditions.

3. Intelligent Full-link Diagnosis, Visual Maintenance Efficiency

The module integrates a microprocessor for real-time circuit monitoring, dynamically collecting core parameters such as relay coil status, contact closure/open status, fuse melting, load open/closed, power supply status, and communication faults. When abnormal, it precisely alerts through panel LED indicators. Equipped with multi-color LED indicators for power supply, communication, faults, and channel status, each channel has independent status display. The running status is clear at a glance, and fault channels and types can be quickly located without the need for professional tools. Remote diagnosis is supported, and module status information can be uploaded to the system via the Ovation backplane bus, enabling remote monitoring, fault location, and historical data traceability.

Supports online hot-swappable maintenance, allowing modules to be plugged and unplugged while the system is running. After replacement, the module automatically identifies and synchronizes configuration parameters without downtime. It adopts tool-free snap-in installation, compatible with the Ovation 1C series standard base (1C31205G01/1C31206G01), making installation and disassembly convenient and significantly reducing maintenance time.

4. Strong compatibility and flexible expansion, suitable for multiple system architectures

Perfectly compatible with the full range of Ovation 1C base units, including 2-slot base units (1C31205G01) and 4-slot base units (1C31206G01). They can be mixed-inserted with digital input/output and analog input/output modules, and I/O stations can be configured as needed to build a flexible distributed control system.

The backplane communication uses the Ovation dedicated high-speed bus, with a communication rate of 1Mbps and a data refresh rate of 1ms. Control instructions are transmitted without delay, ensuring precise synchronization of relay actions. It supports redundant system configuration and can be used with redundant controllers and redundant base units, allowing key circuits to switch without disturbance, suitable for high-reliability control scenarios.

The module comes with a channel address configuration switch, allowing channel addresses to be quickly set without the need for upper-level software. It can be seamlessly integrated with 1C31218G01 (8-channel relay output module), mixed-deploying high and low power load control circuits to optimize the system architecture.
