WESTINGHOUSE 5X00497G01 Base Card Controller

5X00497G01

The WESTINGHOUSE 5X00497G01 is a high-performance digital input module engineered to deliver reliable signal acquisition and control in mission-critical industrial environments. As part of the Ovation™ distributed control system (DCS), this module serves as a cornerstone for automation setups in power generation, water treatment, and manufacturing facilities. Designed to interface with sensors, switches, and other field devices, the 5X00497G01 converts discrete input signals into actionable data for central controllers, ensuring seamless integration within complex industrial networks. For engineers and plant managers seeking robust, scalable solutions, this module combines advanced signal processing with rugged durability to meet the demands of modern automation systems.

The 5X00497G01 stands out in industrial settings due to its versatility and reliability. Unlike standard digital input modules, it supports a wide range of signal types—including dry contacts, 24V DC, and 120V AC—allowing it to interface with legacy and modern equipment alike. Its fast response time (<5ms) ensures near-instantaneous data updates, making it ideal for high-speed processes such as turbine control or packaging line synchronization. The module’s IP20-rated enclosure protects against dust and large debris, while its compact design (121mm x 52mm x 165mm) maximizes space efficiency in control panels.
