I. Product Overview

WOODWARD 5441-693 is a standard voltage type digital input/output (I/O) module specifically designed for the MicroNet and NetCon 5000 control systems. It is tailored for connecting 24VDC industrial field devices (such as proximity switches, solenoid valves, indicator lights, small relays, etc.), providing high isolation and high-speed signal interfaces to enable safe signal interaction between the control system and the field devices. This module is a discontinued model, and the market mainly circulates refurbished / spare parts. 

II. Core Functional Characteristics

24V Standard Digital I/O: Specifically designed for 24VDC signals, compatible with the majority of industrial sensors and actuators.

Full Electrical Isolation: Three-terminal full isolation (2500V AC) for input, output, and system power supply, effectively suppressing interference and protecting the control system.

Rich I/O Points: Provide 16 isolated digital inputs (DI) and 16 isolated digital outputs (DO), meeting the requirements of large-scale I/O points.

High-speed Signal Processing: Input/output signal response time < 5ms, supporting high-speed status monitoring and control.

Status LED Indication: Each I/O is equipped with an independent LED status indicator, intuitively displaying on/off status, facilitating quick diagnosis.

Hot Swap Design: Supports hot swapping (live insertion), allowing for online maintenance without affecting system operation.

Industrial Grade Reliability: Wide temperature, shock-resistant, dust-proof design, compliant with CE, UL certifications, suitable for harsh environments such as power plants, petrochemicals, metallurgy, etc.
