Description

This section describes the Ovation Link Controller module, the wiring, the optional
jumpers, and the diagnostic LEDs used to provide communication between an
Ovation Controller and a third-party device or system. This communication is done
via a serial RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 data link.
Prior to initializing and using the Link Controller module, verify that the hardware
has been properly configured.
Module Description
This section describes the Ovation Link Controller module which consists of three
parts (refer to Figure 2-1):
• Base Unit (containing the field terminations)
• Electronics Module
• Personality Module
Base Unit
The base unit (containing two terminal blocks) mounts onto a DIN rail. Each
base unit accommodates two I/O modules. If you use only one I/O module, you
still must use a base unit that contains two terminal blocks.
The footprint of the base unit (containing Electronic and Personality module) is:
27.9 cm Long (11 in)
12.7 cm Wide (5 in)
16.5 cm High (6.5 in)
2-2.2. Electronics Module
The Electronics module (configured by adding the appropriate Personality
module) fits into the base unit. There is one Electronics module group for the
Link Controller Module:
• 1C31166G01 provides for communication to a third-party device or system

The Link Controller Personality module provides two (J1 and J2) male DB9
connectors for the desired serial links (see Figure 2-1).
There are two Personality module groups for the Link Controller Module. Select the
appropriate group for the desired serial link.
Group One Personality Module
Group One (1C31169G01) provides for an RS-232 serial link.
• J1 Port is an RS-232 Programming Port which is used to interface to a Personal
Computer (used for keyboard input, CRT display, and file transfer functions).
• J2 Port is an RS-232 Applications Port (in CE Mark certified systems, the
application port cable must be less than 10 meters (32.8 ft)).
