Product Description: Woodward 5461-651 Analog Output Module

Woodward 5461-651 is a dedicated high-precision analog signal output module within the 5461 series. Its core function is to convert and drive the digital control signals from control systems (such as MicroNet, NetCon, 505/723) into standard 4-20mA current or 0-10V voltage analog signals, which are used for precise control of servo valves, electro-hydraulic actuators, frequency converters, recorders, and various on-site regulating instruments. It is specifically designed for closed-loop control circuits of rotating machinery such as gas turbines, steam turbines, and engines, and serves as a key interface connecting digital controllers with hydraulic/electrical actuators. Core features: Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC), Signal Isolation, High Precision Drive, Industrial Field Control Design standards: Full Electrical Isolation, Wide Temperature Range, Industrial Class EMC Protection, Class I, Div 2 Hazardous Area Certification Compatible systems: Woodward MicroNet, NetCon, 505/723 control systems
