Product Introduction

The Emerson / Westinghouse 1B30023H02 is an I/O branch terminator board engineered specifically for deployment within Ovation distributed control system cabinets. The unit is installed at the physical end of an I/O communication branch (when no Attachment Unit Module is present) to suppress signal reflections and maintain data integrity across the local network.

During system expansion or maintenance routines, technicians mount the module directly onto standard DIN-rail base structures at the termination point of the I/O bus loop. Proper termination prevents packet corruption and communication timeouts across distributed drop links during continuous 24/7 industrial execution.

Core Technical Specifications

Compliance & Standards Alignment

When integrating control network components into continuous industrial processes, adherence to international electrical frameworks is required.

• Designed to meet applicable CE Mark directives for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and low-voltage electrical safety.
• Constructed to support UL/cUL listed industrial control equipment requirements when housed within properly grounded NEMA/IP-rated enclosures.
• Passive resistive network design limits high-frequency noise propagation across the local node interface.

Technical Note: Verify system branch topology requirements against the official Ovation installation manual (U3-1000 or U3-1005) prior to hardware placement.

Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines

Industrial communication accessories kept as warehouse spares require careful environmental control to prevent pin corrosion:

• Keep the module sealed inside its original metallized anti-static (ESD) shielding bag to protect electronic components from airborne moisture and atmospheric sulfur.
• Store units in an environment with a relative humidity strictly below 60% to prevent micro-oxidation on terminal pins and connector contacts.
• Inspect connector pins periodically during warehouse audits to ensure zero structural bending or contamination.

Physical Installation Prerequisites

• Ensure the target I/O bus segment is powered down and locked out (LOTO) before installing or servicing the terminator board.
• Snap the module securely onto the designated DIN-rail position at the extreme end of the communication branch.
• Verify that signal wiring continuity and bus address jumpers match the site architecture specifications.

Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics

Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to the international shipment of this terminator module?

A: Industrial electronic control system parts typically classify under HS code 8538.90 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with control apparatus). Confirm final classification details with your licensed customs broker.

Q: Does the unit require software configuration during setup?

A: No, the 1B30023H02 is a passive/active hardware termination component and does not require software or firmware programming.

Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?

A: Note: Price is subject to market conditions and stock availability; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation.
