5463-338

Product Overview The Woodward 5463-338 is a high‑performance speed controller & communication processor for diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines, and generator sets. It integrates precision speed regulation, I/O expansion, and protocol conversion, widely used in power generation and oil & gas industrial control systems.

Description

Key Features

  • Precision Speed/Load Control: Supports isochronous (constant speed) and droop (load sharing) modes; accepts 4–20 mA / 1–5 Vdc control signals.

  • Multi‑Protocol Communication: Equipped with Ethernet, RS‑232, RS‑485; supports Modbus RTU/TCP for DCS/PLC connection.

  • Isolated I/O: Analog and discrete I/O with electrical isolation to prevent ground loops and EMI/RFI interference.

  • Industrial Hardening: Operating temperature ‑40 °C to +85 °C; high vibration resistance; IP65 protection; SIL2 certified.

  • Data Logging & Protection: Non‑volatile memory for config/fault logs; built‑in overspeed protection and fault diagnosis.

  • Wide Compatibility: Works with Woodward 505/505XT, MicroNet, and NetCon 5000 control platforms.
