Emerson 5X00300G01 Analog Input Card – Reliable signal acquisition for Ovation DCS

The Emerson 5X00300G01 is an analog input card designed for the Ovation distributed control system. From my experience, it’s the type of module plants keep as a core spare because it quietly does the hard work—bringing 4–20 mA and voltage signals into the control system with steady accuracy. If you’re modernizing a loop, adding new field transmitters, or just replacing a tired card, this unit integrates cleanly with existing Ovation I/O racks and controller strategies, which typically keeps commissioning time short.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• – Warranty: 365 days

• – Delivery: 1 week for in-stock; no more than one month at the latest

• – Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery

– Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Ovation-compatible plug-in design – Slides into the standard Ovation I/O rack for fast swap and minimal wiring changes.
• Current and voltage input support – Typically handles 4–20 mA loops and common voltage ranges (e.g., 0–10 V) to cover most plant transmitters.
• Multi-channel acquisition – Designed as a multi-channel AI card so you can concentrate more field points per slot and reduce cabinet count.
• Stable, low-noise measurement – Seems to deliver consistent readings in noisy environments when shielding and grounding are done right.
• Backplane-powered – Draws power from the rack backplane; no external power supply on the module itself.
• Service-friendly – Front access for quick replacement; engineered for minimal downtime in routine maintenance windows.

Technical Specifications

Dimensions & Weight	Compact plug-in card for Ovation rack; typical weight < 0.4 kg
Installation Method	Front-insert, plug-in module to Ovation I/O rack; field wiring via terminal base/connector

Application Fields

Plants typically deploy the 5X00300G01 wherever stable analog measurement is critical:

• Power generation – boiler, turbine, and balance-of-plant transmitter inputs (pressure, flow, level, temperature).
• Oil & gas – wellhead, compressor, and pipeline instrumentation loops.
• Water & wastewater – flow meters, pH/ORP, turbidity, and dosing skids.
• Chemicals & pharma – utility systems and process skids where Ovation is the site standard.

One thing I appreciate is how it fits mixed-IO cabinets without forcing rewiring—useful during phased upgrades where downtime is tight.

Advantages & Value

• Drop-in compatibility – Works within existing Ovation racks and controller configurations, reducing engineering hours.
• Reliable sourcing – We ship quickly and help you match hardware revisions so the card behaves as expected in your system.
• Lower lifecycle cost – Multi-channel density per slot typically reduces cabinet footprint and spare holdings.
• Technical support – Assistance with channel configuration, signal scaling, and loop-checks to shorten commissioning.

A maintenance supervisor recently told us, “Swap took under 10 minutes, and the loop readings settled immediately once we verified the scaling.” That seems to be the norm when the wiring and shielding are tidy.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & environment – Install in a clean, ventilated control cabinet. Maintain ambient within the stated temperature and humidity range.
• Wiring – Use shielded twisted pair for analog loops; ground shields at one end only to avoid ground loops. Keep power and signal wiring separated.
• Safety – De-energize the rack before inserting or removing the card. Verify loop isolation when working on live circuits.
• Commissioning – Confirm channel type (current vs voltage), scaling, and input range in the Ovation configuration. Perform a loop-check for each point.
• Routine care – Periodically inspect terminals, clean dust with dry air, and review diagnostics. Firmware updates (if applicable) should follow site change-control.
• Spare strategy – Keep at least one spare per cabinet or per 50–80 analog points, depending on criticality.

Quality & Certifications

• CE marking and UL/cUL recognition in many cases; RoHS compliance for most builds (confirm per lot or revision).
• Manufacturer standards aligned with ISO-based quality systems for industrial control hardware.
• Warranty: 365 days from delivery.
