Product Description
Woodward 5466-258M MicroNet Simplex Control Module
Product Overview
- The Woodward 5466-258M is a Simplex Control Module designed for Woodward’s MicroNet Control System, specifically for non-redundant (simplex) configurations. This module serves as a central processing unit for the MicroNet platform, executing control algorithms and managing I/O communications in industrial applications such as gas and steam turbines, compressors, and power generation systems. Unlike the TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) CPU modules, the 5466-258M is optimized for applications where high reliability is needed without the redundancy of TMR systems. It is commonly used in industries like power generation, oil and gas, aerospace, and marine, recognized for its robust performance and integration with Woodward’s control ecosystem. The "M" suffix likely indicates a specific modification or variant, possibly with enhanced features or firmware compared to the standard 5466-258.
