Emerson 1C31124G01 Ovation 16‑Channel 24VDC Digital Output Module

Emerson 1C31124G01 is a hot‑swappable digital output module for the Ovation distributed control system, originally designed by Westinghouse. It receives discrete control commands from Ovation controller via rack backplane, outputs isolated 24VDC drive signals to field solenoid valves, relays and actuators for industrial process on‑off control.

This 16‑channel output module provides channel‑to‑backplane galvanic isolation, integrates short‑circuit and open‑load diagnostic functions, supports hot‑swap replacement without shutting down system rack. It is widely used as replacement spare‑part for on‑site troubleshooting, equipment maintenance and DCS system retrofit projects.
