Product Description
Woodward 9907-963 382A4848P0001 LinkNet Module
Product Overview
- The Woodward 9907-963, also identified as part number 382A4848P0001, is a LinkNet Module, designed for distributed I/O communication in industrial control systems, primarily used with Woodward’s MicroNet and NetCon control platforms for turbine and engine control applications in power generation, oil and gas, and process industries. This module facilitates communication between field devices (sensors, actuators) and Woodward’s control systems, providing reliable data transfer for real-time monitoring and control. The LinkNet Module is a network node that interfaces analog and discrete I/O signals with the control system via a proprietary LinkNet communication protocol. The 9907-963 is likely a specific variant of the LinkNet series, potentially configured for a particular I/O type (e.g., analog input/output, discrete input/output) or application, and the part number 382A4848P0001 may indicate a specific revision or OEM designation (possibly associated with GE or other partners). It is designed for integration with Woodward’s MicroNet Plus (e.g., 8800-1001), 505 series (e.g., 9907-163), and other control systems, offering a compact and robust solution for distributed control. The 9907-963 is distinct from Woodward’s genset controls like the EasyGen series (e.g., 8440-2179 EasyGen-3500XT, 9907-1182), DSLC series (e.g., 9905-976), 2301D series (e.g., 9907-175), EGCP-3 series (e.g., 8444-1082), SPM-D2 series (e.g., 8446-1048), SPM-A series (e.g., 9907-028), ProTech 203 (e.g., 9907-827), TG-13 (e.g., 8516-050), Peak150 series (e.g., 8200-176), ProAct series (e.g., 8237-2595), 723PLUS series (e.g., 8270-1013), EPG systems (e.g., 8290-195), electronic governors (e.g., 8406-121), and actuators (e.g., 8408-921), focusing on distributed I/O communication for turbine control systems.
