EMERSON 5X00499G01 I O Module

Emerson 5X00499G01 I/O Module (Ovation DCS Digital Input Module – 32 Channel)

The Emerson 5X00499G01 is an Ovation Distributed Control System (DCS) 32-channel digital input module. It is used to receive ON/OFF status signals from field devices and send them into the Ovation control system for monitoring, logic processing, and automation control.

Key Specifications

• Model: 5X00499G01
• Brand: Emerson
• System: Ovation DCS
• Module Type: Digital Input (DI) Module
• Channels: 32 inputs
• Input Type: Dry contact / voltage level inputs (system dependent)
• Signal Range: typically low-voltage industrial digital signals (e.g., 0–5V / contact closure)
• Function: Reads field ON/OFF status into DCS system
• Installation: Rack-mounted Ovation I/O chassis
• System Role: Input acquisition module

So it is:

• ❌ Not a PLC module (Siemens/Allen-Bradley style)
• ❌ Not a communication module
• ❌ Not a power supply module
• ✔ A DCS digital input acquisition module

Important Notes (for listing accuracy)

• Only works in Emerson Ovation DCS systems
• Must be installed in correct Ovation rack/backplane
• Not compatible with standard PLC I/O systems
• Often used in critical infrastructure (power plants)
• Input types depend on system configuration and wiring design
