Product Parameters

• Product Model: WESTINGHOUSE 5X00497G01
• System Platform: Westinghouse (Emerson) Ovation DCS.
• Module Type: Specific System Module (Exact function – e.g., Power Supply for Controller, I/O Module Power Supply, or Controller Communication Module – must be verified via the Ovation hardware manual for this exact part number).
• Primary Function:
  • If a Power Supply: Provides redundant, conditioned DC power (e.g., +5V, ±15V) to an Ovation controller or I/O shelf from an AC or DC input source.
  • If a Controller Module: Could be a memory, processor, or communication co-processor module for an Ovation controller.
• Input Power: Defined by its type; typically accepts a wide-range AC (e.g., 85-264V AC) or DC input for power supply units.
• Output Specifications: For power supplies, provides specific voltage rails with precise regulation and current limits.
• Redundancy Support: Often designed for N+1 or 1:1 redundant configurations, allowing for hot-swap replacement without disrupting control.
• Diagnostics: Comprehensive status LEDs and internal diagnostics to report health, load, and fault conditions (e.g., Power Good, Fail, Load Share).
• Cooling: May incorporate integrated fans or heat sinks, depending on power dissipation.
• Mounting: Installs into a dedicated slot within an Ovation controller chassis or power supply rack.

Advantages and Features

• High Availability Design: Engineered with redundancy and hot-swap capabilities as core features, ensuring continuous system operation even during module maintenance or failure, which is critical for base-load power plants.
• Exceptional Reliability: Utilizes high-quality, industrial-grade components with conservative deratings to achieve a very high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), supporting 24/7/365 operation.
• Robust Power Conditioning: For power supply units, provides excellent line and load regulation with low noise output, protecting sensitive controller electronics from power anomalies and ensuring stable operation.
• Comprehensive Diagnostics and Alarming: Offers clear local and remote diagnostic feedback, allowing operators and maintenance personnel to quickly identify and respond to any module or power-related issues.
• Seamless Ovation Integration: As a genuine Ovation component, the 5X00497G01 is fully recognized and managed by the Ovation system software, enabling centralized health monitoring and configuration.

Application Cases in Various Fields

• Fossil Fuel Power Generation: Serves as the redundant power supply module for an Ovation controller managing a boiler-turbine-generator (BTG) unit, ensuring the control system remains powered through grid transients.
• Nuclear Power Plant Non-Safety Systems: Provides clean, reliable power to controllers managing balance-of-plant systems like feedwater control, condenser, and auxiliary systems, where availability is paramount.
• Combined Cycle Power Plant: Acts as a power or processor module within the controller managing gas and steam turbines, as well as the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), for optimized efficiency.
• Large Industrial Boiler Control: Used within the DCS controlling a massive industrial boiler, providing the stable system power required for continuous safety and process loops.

Comparison with Competing Products

The WESTINGHOUSE 5X00497G01 competes with system-level power and controller modules from other high-availability DCS vendors like Honeywell (Experion) and Siemens (SPPA-T3000/ SIMATIC PCS 7). Its key advantage is its certified, plug-and-play compatibility and optimized performance within the Ovation DCS environment, which is specifically renowned for its power industry expertise and robust network architecture. Compared to using generic industrial power supplies or computing modules, the 5X00497G01 is designed with the specific form factor, monitoring, and redundancy features required for seamless integration into the Ovation system’s high-availability architecture.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Exact Function Verification: It is imperative to identify the precise function of the WESTINGHOUSE 5X00497G01 in your system context. Consult the Ovation system’s Bill of Materials (BOM), hardware manual, or Emerson technical support to confirm if it is a Power Supply, Controller Module, or other unit. Using it incorrectly can cause system failure.
2. System Compatibility and Version: Confirm the module’s compatibility with your specific Ovation controller model (e.g., Ovation Controller Model #) and the system’s firmware/software release. Hardware revisions can be critical.
3. Redundancy Configuration: If used in a redundant pair, ensure both modules are identical (same firmware, hardware revision) and are configured correctly in the Ovation software for proper load sharing and failover.
4. Power Capacity (if a Power Supply): If it is a power supply module, calculate the total power draw of all modules in the associated controller or I/O shelf to ensure the 5X00497G01 has sufficient capacity with a safe margin (typically 20-30%).
