core functionality

Function Description
Link control provides reliable data transmission between various components of the DCS network (PLC, I/O modules, special control modules)
Third party devices integrate and connect external systems/third-party devices, serving as a “bridge” between Ovation and Modbus/DNP3/Profibus devices
System synchronization assists in controlling signal exchange, process data transmission, and overall network operation synchronization
Under the configuration of the digital quantity acquisition part, it can receive on/off status signals of switches, buttons, limit switches, relay contacts, etc. (this is also the reason why it is labeled as the “digital quantity input module”)
Channel diagnosis supports channel level diagnostic functions such as wire breakage detection, signal jitter filtering, and status latch
hardware interface
