Common FAQ
What is the purpose of the R-Link in an Ovation system?The R-Link is used to connect the main controller to "Remote Nodes." If your I/O cabinets are located in a different building or a distant part of the plant, the 5X00070G01 manages the data backbone that bridges those signals back to the central DCS without losing speed or accuracy.
Can the 5X00070G01 be used in a redundant pair?Yes. In mission-critical applications, these modules are typically installed in a redundant configuration. If the primary R-Link controller fails, the secondary module takes over communication instantly to prevent any loss of process visibility or control.
