Working Principle:
The 1C31181G01 converts electrical signals from the Ovation I/O bus into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables to remote I/O nodes. It receives optical signals from remote nodes and converts them back to electrical signals for processing by the local controller. This enables reliable, noise-immune communication over extended distances between the controller and distributed I/O equipment.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in the Ovation remote I/O base (1C31206G01 for local, 1C31205G01 for remote)
  • Connect fiber optic cables to the two ports
  • Ensure proper fiber optic cable routing and bend radius
  • Verify compatibility with the Ovation system version

Usage Precautions:

  • Handle fiber optic connectors with care to avoid contamination
  • Verify fiber optic cable integrity before commissioning
  • Ensure proper grounding of the module and rack
  • Follow Ovation DCS installation procedures for module insertion sequence
