Description

WOODWARD 5466-258

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: Woodward
  • Model: 5466-258
  • Product Type: Simplex Discrete I/O Module
  • System Compatibility: MicroNet Plus, Vertex-Pro
  • External Input Voltage: 18 to 32 VDC
  • Power Input: 18 to 32 VDC
  • Power Consumption: 6.5 Watts at 24 VDC
  • Chassis Compatibility: 8-slot or 14-slot chassis
  • Redundancy: Supports Simplex and Redundant system configurations

Functional Features:

  • Discrete Signal Handling: Manages digital inputs (status monitoring) and digital outputs (control commands).
  • Hot-Swappable: Supports real-time replacement of faulty nodes without shutting down the network.
  • Address Configuration: Rotary switches for setting module address (1 to 10).
  • Flexible Mounting: Can be installed in any slot within the compatible chassis.

Application Scenarios:

  • Industrial automation systems requiring digital signal expansion.
  • Turbine control systems for valve status and limit switch monitoring.
  • Process control applications.

Performance Parameters:

  • Voltage Range: 18-32 VDC
  • Power Draw: 6.5 W

Material Composition:

  • Standard industrial PCB assembly.
  • Plastic module casing with metal connectors.

Structural Features: The module features terminal blocks for field wiring and a backplane connector for chassis integration. It includes rotary switches for address setting.

Working Principle: The module reads the state of connected field devices (open/closed) and sends this data to the controller via the chassis backplane. Conversely, it receives commands from the controller to switch output relays or transistors on or off.

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on a DIN rail or within a compatible Woodward chassis.
  • Set the address switches to match the system configuration.
  • Connect 24 VDC power and field wiring.

Usage Notes:

  • When replacing a node, ensure the replacement module has the same address switch settings.
  • Use the application software to reset the node after replacement to clear communication faults.
  • Ensure the power supply is stable within the 18-32 VDC range.
