5501-469

WOODWARD 5501‑469 is a high‑speed CPU/processor module for Woodward NetCon 5000 / MicroNet control systems, manufactured in the USA. It is the core computing unit for gas/steam turbine governing, generator synchronization, speed‑load control and heavy‑duty industrial automation. Optimized for LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbines, it executes complex control algorithms with high‑speed response and stable data processing.

Description

Product Details

This CPU module integrates expanded large‑load (LL) memory, 8‑point digital input/output, and dedicated communication ports (RX/TX, memory card slot). It features independent RS‑232/RS‑422 serial ports, redundant Ethernet communication, and supports Modbus protocol for data transmission.
Industrial‑grade hardware ensures strong anti‑electromagnetic interference, anti‑vibration and wide‑temperature adaptability. Plug‑in modular design enables hot‑swap, quick installation and maintenance, fully compatible with Woodward MicroNet/NetCon 5000 series control chassis. It supports automatic generator synchronization, frequency‑phase‑voltage matching, load sharing, speed regulation and safety interlock control.
Typical applications: gas‑fired power plants, thermal power stations, petrochemical plants, marine power systems, industrial gas/steam turbines, diesel‑generator sets and compressor control systems.
