Function Features

• Dual – function Integration

  It integrates the functions of serial link control and input/output. It not only realizes data interaction between the Ovation DCS and external devices but also directly collects on – site analog and digital signals and sends control signals to actuators, integrating communication and control to simplify the system structure.

• Versatile Protocol Compatibility

  Support for multiple industrial serial protocols eliminates compatibility barriers between the module and different brands and types of industrial devices. It can be flexibly connected to various on – site equipment without the need for additional protocol conversion modules, reducing system configuration costs.

• Flexible Configuration & Easy Diagnostics

  Software – based parameter configuration allows users to adjust communication and input/output settings according to specific industrial process requirements without modifying hardware. The LED status indicators provide intuitive real – time feedback on port operation, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly identify communication failures or port malfunctions and shorten troubleshooting time.

• Reliable & Stable Industrial – grade Performance

  The low – power design with 3.5 watts of power consumption ensures long – term stable operation without overheating. The aluminum alloy material and strict industrial – grade production standards enhance its resistance to electromagnetic interference and mechanical vibration, ensuring continuous and reliable work even in complex and harsh industrial on – site environments.

• Seamless Integration with Ovation DCS

  The module is specially optimized for the Ovation DCS, which can be seamlessly integrated into the existing Ovation control architecture without complex adaptive debugging. It realizes unified management and control through the DCS, improving the overall coordination and operational efficiency of the system.
