WESTINGHOUSE SERIAL LINK CONTROLLER MODULE PLC 1C31166G01 (WL82)

Description:

The Westinghouse 1C31166G01 is a Serial Link Controller Module designed for use in the Emerson Ovation Distributed Control System (DCS). The module provides a serial communications interface between the Ovation Controller and third-party devices or external control systems through RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication links. It functions as a dedicated communication processor, enabling data exchange, protocol conversion, and integration of external equipment into the Ovation automation platform.

Applications:

The Westinghouse 1C31166G01 Serial Link Controller Module is commonly used in power plants, substations, water treatment facilities, manufacturing plants, and industrial process control systems. It facilitates communication between the Ovation DCS and external devices such as PLCs, RTUs, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), analyzers, metering equipment, and third-party automation systems.
