Emerson 1C31234G01 Ovation 16‑Channel Digital Input Module

Emerson 1C31234G01 is a 16‑channel digital input module for Ovation DCS system, inherited from Westinghouse automation hardware. It collects discrete on‑off status signals from field switches, relays and contact devices and transmits digital data to Ovation controllers.

This module supports simplex and redundant rack installation, conforming to ISA‑S71.04 G3 corrosive environment standard. It communicates with main controller through Ovation I/O backplane bus, widely used as spare parts for thermal power, petrochemical DCS cabinet maintenance and replacement projects.
