Ovation I/O Architecture 

The Base

Ovation packaging reduces the system footprint by using base units which attach to mounting plates by DIN rail;

these hold four independent Ovation I/O modules of any style.

This approach simplifies maintenance by making it easy to install, move or replace individual base units. 

Base unit features include:  

▪ Field terminal blocks that accept two 14 AWG or a single 12 AWG 

▪ I/O bus communications built into the base 

▪ I/O modules automatically addressed by location 

▪ I/O modules may reside in any location 

▪ I/O module redundant power distribution 

▪ No interconnecting cables for I/O bases 

▪ Built-in spare fuse holders and strip gauge in base 

The base unit’s high-impact plastic housing protects the backplane, exposing only the connectors as modules are removed.
