Woodward 5466-348 NetCon 5000B SlO Module

Woodward 5466-348 NetCon 5000B SlO Module

Functional Description

5466-348 is a Netcon SIO Module developed by Woodward. SIO Module is equipped with three RS-485 ports. Each port is intended for use with EM or GS/LQ Digital Actuator Drivers. Every 5 ms, one driver is allowed for each port. The address switches of each driver must match the driver number in the GAP application program. The Universal Digital Drivers' RS-485 communications can be used for monitoring or control.

Features

• With one driver per port, the update rate for critical parameters is 5 ms
• Interface for Digital Actuator Drivers
• Each RS-485 port can operate at a different rate group
• Each driver's communication fault is detected, and drivers with comm faults are disabled
• Remote monitoring of driver parameters
• Remote driver parameter configuration
• Allows the drivers to issue a fast and very accurate position command (16 bits, no noise)

Application

• It can send position demand and configuration information to the driver while also monitoring the driver status outputs.
• It is capable of configuring the driver and monitoring the status outputs, but not of sending a position demand. The demand for driver position would come from a 4- 20 mA input or the CAN bus interface.
• It can be used to monitor the driver's status outputs but not to configure or send a position demand to the driver. The driver position demand could be generated by a 4-20 mA input or by the CAN bus interface, and the configuration input could be generated by RS-232 or by the CAN bus interface.
