Core Compatibility and Functional Positioning
The 5X00497G01 4-Module I/O Base is primarily compatible with the Ovation™ 32-channel Digital Output Module, and its design is intended to address the multi-channel wiring and signal transmission requirements of this output module. Given that the 32-channel digital output module needs to realize connection and control of 32 independent output signals, conventional interfaces fail to meet the demands of high-density wiring. By virtue of its optimized terminal layout design, the 5X00497G01 provides additional wire termination connection points, which can fully support the external wiring requirements of 32 output channels. This ensures independent and stable signal transmission for each channel, and prevents signal interference or connection faults caused by wiring congestion. Meanwhile, serving as the connection hub between the I/O module and other system components, this base undertakes the critical functions of module power distribution and signal transfer, guaranteeing smooth command transmission and data interaction between the module and the control system.
Key Technical Characteristics and Compatibility Assurance
Electrical Compatibility Characteristics
Derived retroactively from the technical parameters of the matching module, the 5X00497G01 is required to meet the electrical performance requirements of the 32-channel digital output module. It supports 24 VDC field power input (consistent with the cabinet auxiliary 24 VDC power supply adopted by the module) and can withstand the electrical environment during the module’s operation. This includes meeting the ±1000 VDC field-to-logic galvanic isolation voltage requirement, which prevents external electrical interference from affecting the module’s logic circuits. In addition, its terminal design is adapted to the output current characteristics of the module, supporting a maximum per-channel current transmission of 500 mA and a maximum total output current of 2 A, thus ensuring the safety and stability of power supply and signal transmission.
Structural and Installation Characteristics
As a 4-module I/O base, its structural design complies with the modular installation standards of the Ovation™ Series, supporting stacked or combined installation of multiple modules to meet the spatial layout requirements inside industrial control cabinets. The terminal block of the base adopts a clear identification design (referring to the terminal identification logic of the matching module), covering power interfaces, channel interfaces, etc. This facilitates on-site installation, wiring, and subsequent maintenance, and reduces construction and commissioning costs. Furthermore, in combination with the hot-swappable function of the matching module, this base features corresponding compatibility in terms of mechanical structure and electrical connection, ensuring connection stability during the module’s hot-swapping process and avoiding system interruptions or faults caused by module replacement.
Environmental Adaptability and Standard Compliance
As an industrial-grade I/O base, the environmental adaptability of the 5X00497G01 is consistent with that of the matching 32-channel digital output module to meet the harsh operating conditions of industrial sites. It supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F), adapting to temperature fluctuations in most industrial environments; its humidity tolerance range is 0 to 95% non-condensing, enabling stable operation in high-humidity environments and preventing electrical short circuits or performance degradation caused by moisture.In terms of compliance, this base adheres to relevant industrial safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, including but not limited to the EN 61010-1 standard (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use), ensuring electrical safety during product operation. It is also compatible with the electromagnetic compatibility standards followed by the matching module (e.g., the EN 61000 series), featuring excellent electromagnetic interference immunity and radiation control capabilities. This prevents electromagnetic interference to surrounding equipment or the module itself, and ensures the electromagnetic compatibility performance of the entire automation system.

Application Scenarios and Value
This product is mainly applied in industrial sectors relying on the Ovation control system, covering process automation control scenarios in industries such as power generation, chemical engineering, petroleum, and metallurgy. In these scenarios, the 32-channel digital output module needs to connect to external loads (e.g., relays) via the 5X00497G01 base to fulfill functions including 24 VDC power switching control and equipment start-stop command output.
Its core value lies in providing a reliable mounting and connection foundation for Ovation series modules through standardized interface design, stable electrical performance and excellent compatibility. This ensures the accurate transmission of multi-channel control signals, enhances the overall stability and maintainability of the automation system, reduces system integration costs, and supports subsequent module expansion or upgrading.
