Relay Output Base Assembly Specifications
Configuration & Performance Advantages
This base unit is pre-configured with 16 Form C relays, each featuring a single Form C contact
arrangement that is routed to dedicated terminal blocks for straightforward user wiring. It is designed
to reliably switch high-voltage and high-current AC/DC signals for standard industrial I/O needs.
Description of the Ovation Series
The Ovation Distributed Control System delivers modulating control, sequential control, and data
acquisition capabilities for a diverse array of industrial system applications. It is constructed with a
configurable set of functional Input/Output (I/O) modules that communicate with the Ovation
Controller via the I/O bus. These I/O modules act as the critical interface between the Ovation
Controller and on-site industrial processes, featuring a plug-in design with built-in fault tolerance and
diagnostic functions. Capable of handling a wide spectrum of signal types and executing numerous
operational functions, Ovation I/O modules are secured within base units. These base units are
housed in Controller cabinets, mounted on DIN rails, and wired to the relevant field devices. Standard
modular components typically consist of an electronics module, a personality module, and a base unit
(with field terminations), while relay output modular components include an electronics module and a
base unit with field terminations. The system supports both local and remote I/O configurations,
offering advantages such as quick installation and configuration, DIN rail mounting of I/O base units,
labeled wiring schematics on modules, hot-swapping capabilities for streamlined maintenance, and
standardized diagnostic LED indicators for status monitoring. With scalable capacity—up to 128 local
and 1024 remote Ovation module units per Controller—the Ovation series ensures robust, flexible,
and reliable control for industrial operations.
