FAQs

Q1: What is the main function of the 1C31194G03 module?

A1: It translates digital commands from the Ovation DCS into analog signals for field devices like valves and actuators.

Q2: Can this module output both voltage and current?

A2: Yes, it supports both 4–20 mA and 0–10 V analog output formats, and it can be configured accordingly.

Q3: How many output channels does the module provide?

A3: The 1C31194G03 offers 8 individually isolated analog output channels.

Q4: Is this module hot-swappable?

A4: No, for safety and system integrity, it should be replaced or installed with power off and following Ovation system procedures.

Q5: What makes this module suitable for power generation environments?

A5: Its accuracy, isolation, and compliance with industrial certifications make it ideal for sensitive analog control in power facilities.

Q6: What diagnostic features does the module offer?

A6: It includes internal diagnostics for output channel status, overcurrent conditions, and internal faults, which are reported to the control system.

Q7: Is any special tool required for configuring the output range?

A7: Configuration is typically done through the Ovation control system interface, so no separate hardware tool is needed.

Q8: How is the module mounted in the system?

A8: It mounts onto a standard Ovation I/O base or carrier and connects to the Ovation backplane for power and communication.

Q9: Can this module operate in outdoor environments?

A9: It is intended for installation in controlled cabinet environments. For outdoor use, enclosure protection is required.

Q10: What kind of isolation does this module have?

A10: Each channel is isolated from other channels and from the system to prevent signal interference or ground loops.
