5463-873

Product Overview Woodward 5463‑873 is a redundant safety‑grade overspeed protection module for the NetCon 5000 turbomachinery control system. It provides independent, hard‑wired overspeed monitoring, emergency trip and safety interlock functions, separated from the main CPU, to implement fail‑safe protection for gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors and generator sets.

Description

Key Features

  • TMR triple‑modular redundant design, avoiding single‑point failure of safety protection

  • High‑speed sampling for magnetic pickup speed signals, realizing 2‑out‑of‑3 voting overspeed protection

  • Independent safety logic operation, physically isolated from main control CPU to prevent common‑mode faults

  • Galvanic isolation for all input/output channels, strong anti‑interference against EMI/RFI noise

  • Built‑in self‑diagnosis, watchdog monitoring and LED status indicators for rapid fault location

  • Hot‑swappable for online maintenance without system shutdown

  • Operating temperature: −40 °C ~ +85 °C, suitable for power and petrochemical harsh environments

  • SIL2/SIL3, CE, UL, ATEX II 3G, IECEx safety certified
