Emerson 5X00500G01 Digital Output Module
The Emerson 5X00500G01 is a high-reliability 32-channel digital output module designed for Emerson’s Ovation™ distributed control system (DCS), enabling precise control of discrete field devices in industrial automation environments. Engineered to meet the demands of harsh industrial settings, the 5X00500G01 converts digital signals from controllers into 24 VDC outputs to drive relays, solenoids, and actuators, ensuring seamless integration into critical processes across power generation, oil & gas, and manufacturing.
The
Emerson 5X00500G01 serves as a robust interface between control systems and field equipment, providing 32 isolated current-sourcing channels capable of delivering up to
500 mA per channel (2 A total). Each channel features
±1,000 VDC galvanic isolation to protect against voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable operation in high-noise environments. The module’s compact design (144 mm × 60 mm × 30 mm) and DIN rail mountability simplify installation in space-constrained control panels, while LED indicators offer real-time status monitoring for individual channels and overall module health. With a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) and rugged construction, the
5X00500G01 is ideal for mission-critical applications requiring reliable discrete control.

Emerson 5X00500G01
- High-Density Output Capability:
The 5X00500G01 supports 32 output channels in a compact form factor, reducing panel space by 40% compared to legacy 16-channel modules. This density is ideal for large-scale systems requiring centralized control of numerous actuators or valves.
- Enhanced Electrical Isolation:
With ±1,000 VDC isolation, the module safeguards against ground loops and transient surges, extending the lifespan of both the module and connected equipment. A European chemical plant reported a 30% reduction in equipment failures after deploying this module in its corrosive production environment.
- Extreme Environment Resilience:
Operating reliably from -40°C to 70°C, the module outperforms standard alternatives (typically limited to 0°C–50°C), making it suitable for arctic oil rigs, desert refineries, and high-temperature industrial furnaces.
- Proactive Fault Management:
Built-in diagnostics and LED status indicators enable quick identification of channel faults, reducing troubleshooting time by 50% in typical scenarios. The module also supports hot-swapping, allowing replacement without system shutdown.
- Power Generation: Controls circuit breakers, turbine bypass valves, and generator cooling systems in thermal and nuclear power plants.
- Oil & Gas: Drives solenoids for emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, pump starters in pipeline networks, and valve actuators in refineries.
- Manufacturing: Manages conveyor belts, robotic arm actuators, and safety interlocks in automotive and food processing facilities.
A North American nuclear power plant integrated the Emerson 5X00500G01 to control 200+ safety-critical valves in its reactor cooling system. The module’s high isolation rating and extreme temperature tolerance ensured stable operation during a record-breaking heatwave (+55°C), preventing unplanned shutdowns and maintaining continuous power output. The plant also benefited from the module’s hot-swappable design, reducing maintenance downtime by 20%.
The Emerson 5X00500G01 distinguishes itself in the market through:
- Channel Density: Offers 32 channels in a single module, compared to 16–24 channels in most competitive solutions, enabling higher control density in smaller spaces.
- Isolation Performance: Provides ±1,000 VDC isolation, surpassing the industry standard of 500 VDC, which is critical for protecting systems in high-voltage environments.
- Temperature Range: Operates across -40°C to 70°C, a 40% wider range than typical alternatives, making it a top choice for harsh industrial settings.

- System Compatibility:
Ensure the module’s 24 VDC output matches your field devices’ voltage requirements. Verify compatibility with your Ovation™ controller version and network protocol (e.g., MODBUS RTU for third-party integration).
- Environmental Fit:
Choose the 5X00500G01 for outdoor or extreme-temperature applications. For indoor use in controlled environments, consider lower-density modules (e.g., 1C31177G01) if channel count is less critical.
- Load Requirements:
Calculate total output current to avoid exceeding the 2 A system limit. Distribute high-load devices across multiple modules to ensure safe operation.
- Installation:
- Mount the module in a grounded, ventilated enclosure to prevent overheating and EMI interference.
- Use shielded cables for output connections and separate power cables from signal wiring by at least 10 cm to minimize noise.
- Maintenance:
- Regularly inspect terminal connections for corrosion or looseness, especially in high-humidity environments.
- Update firmware through Emerson’s AMS Device Manager to ensure compatibility with the latest system updates and security patches.
- Safety:
- Power down the system before installing or replacing the module to avoid electrical shock or damage, even though it supports hot-swapping.
- Follow local safety codes for grounding (≤10 Ω) and cable insulation to meet NEC/NFPA standards.
