5463-581

Product Overview The Woodward 5463‑581 is a redundant analog output & actuator drive module of the NetCon 5000 series. It provides high‑precision, fast‑response analog control signals for turbine fuel valves, steam governing valves, anti‑surge valves and other field actuators, supporting safety‑critical closed‑loop regulation for turbomachinery systems.

Description

Key Features

  • Multiple isolated analog output channels, software‑configurable for 4‑20 mA and ±10 Vdc.

  • High‑accuracy output with fast dynamic response for valve position closed‑loop control.

  • Channel‑level short‑circuit and overload protection to safeguard actuators and control system.

  • Dual‑redundant Ethernet communication (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP) for reliable control command transmission.

  • Hot‑swap capable and compatible with redundant CPU for bumpless switching.

  • Wide operating temperature range: −40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for harsh industrial environments.

  • SIL2, CE, UL, ATEX II 3G, IECEx certified for safety‑critical applications.
