Emerson 5X00167G01 Ovation Analog Output Module EMOD

Product Overview

The Emerson Ovation 5X00167G01 analog output module is a precision EMOD I/O component engineered for the Ovation Distributed Control System. It translates digital control signals from the controller into stable, high-resolution analog outputs used to regulate field equipment such as control valves, actuators, and smart positioners. Designed for continuous operation in critical processes, this module combines output accuracy, rapid response, and native HART communication support.

Originally introduced within the Westinghouse Ovation platform and now maintained by Emerson, the 5X00167G01 remains a widely deployed solution in power generation and other mission-critical industries.

Functional Characteristics

The 5X00167G01 provides four independent analog output channels optimized for closed-loop control applications. Each channel supports current output as standard and can be configured to accommodate voltage output depending on system design. Integrated HART capability enables digital communication with compatible smart field devices for diagnostics and configuration without interrupting the analog signal.

The EMOD form factor allows seamless installation within Ovation I/O racks, ensuring consistent mechanical fit, power distribution, and signal integrity across the system.
