It adopts a snap-lock modular structure, compatible with the Ovation standard I/O rack, supports online hot swapping, and can be used in conjunction with 1C31205G01 (2-slot remote node base) and 1C31206G01 (4-slot remote I/O base). The hardware has strong compatibility and is convenient for system integration, modification, and point expansion. 

II. Core Functional Characteristics

1. Eight-channel Independent Multi-Signal Compatible Acquisition

Integrated 8 channels of fully isolated differential / single-ended compatible input channels. The software can flexibly configure the signal type, and it can adapt to mainstream field sensors without hardware modification, covering most of the analog acquisition requirements:

Current signal: 4–20mA DC, 0–20mA DC (compatible with two-wire / four-wire intelligent transmitters);

Voltage signal: 0–10V DC, ±10V DC (compatible with voltage output sensors);

Temperature signal: Supports platinum resistance (Pt100), copper resistance (Cu50), thermocouple (J/K/T/E/R/S/B types), and can be directly connected without additional conversion modules.

2. High Precision Acquisition and Stable Sampling Performance

Equipped with high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion chips. Under normal temperature (25℃), the full-scale range acquisition accuracy of standard signals (current / voltage) reaches ±0.05% FS, and the accuracy of thermocouple / thermoresistance signals reaches ±0.1% FS. The temperature drift control is excellent, and there is no significant deviation in long-term operation data. Each channel has an independent circuit processing, and the sampling rate can be configured as 20ms / channel, balancing the requirements for capturing rapid changes in parameters and monitoring slow processes, ensuring the real-time and accuracy of precise control loops and key point data.

3. Hierarchical Electrical Isolation and Industrial Grade Protection

Isolation Design: Electrical isolation of channels at 500V AC, and strong isolation of the module and system bus at 1500V AC, effectively blocking strong electric interference, ground potential difference, and electromagnetic shock from variable-frequency equipment, avoiding signal drift and data anomalies;

Comprehensive Protection: Integrated overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, reverse connection protection circuits, with electrostatic (ESD) and surge suppression capabilities. Faults do not spread across channels, suitable for complex and harsh industrial electrical environments, ensuring hardware safety and long-term stable operation.

4. Full-Dimensional Intelligent Fault Diagnosis

Built-in complete self-check monitoring mechanism, real-time inspection of channel disconnection, signal over-range, line short circuit, module hardware abnormality, communication failure, etc. The abnormalities are displayed intuitively through the three-color LED indicators on the panel (RUN operation, COMM communication, FAULT fault), and the fault codes and status information are simultaneously uploaded to the Ovation control system. Maintenance personnel can remotely quickly locate the fault point and type without point-by-point troubleshooting, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and downtime risks.

5. Tolerant to Harsh Environments, Suitable for Diverse Working Conditions

Temperature range: Working temperature -20℃ to +70℃, storage temperature -40℃ to +85℃, suitable for scenarios with large temperature fluctuations such as high and low temperature cabinets, outdoor equipment rooms, turbine compartments, etc.

Humidity and Anti-Vibration: Working relative humidity 5%–95% (no condensation), anti-vibration and anti-shock performance meets industrial standards, able to withstand dust, slight corrosive gases, and salt spray environments, suitable for various harsh industrial sites.

6. Low Power Consumption and Easy Maintenance, Strong Compatibility

Hot-swappable: Supports system non-stop module replacement, disassembly and assembly do not affect the operation of other equipment in the rack, maintenance is convenient;

Compatibility: The hardware structure is consistent with the 1C module of the same series, old systems can be modified without changing wiring and configuration programs;

Low Power Consumption: 24V DC (±10%) power supply on the backplane, low overall power consumption, small operating heat generation, excellent long-term continuous operation stability, modular design is convenient for later expansion and maintenance.
