Description

Product Overview

The 5466-348 is a high-performance Netcon Serial Input/Output (SIO) Module designed and manufactured by Woodward in the United States. Developed specifically for advanced turbomachinery control systems, this module acts as a specialized communication interface equipped with three (3) independent RS-485 UART ports for interfacing with EM or GS/LQ Digital Actuator Drivers. Operating at a high-speed baud rate of 417 kbaud, the module allows high-frequency data transmission—enabling critical parameter updates every 5 ms (one driver per port). The 5466-348 supports direct position demand generation, remote driver parameter configuration, and continuous driver status monitoring with automatic communication fault detection. Built into a compact card structure with a physical hardware net weight of approximately 0.45 kg (0.99 lbs), this unit ensures high-precision, noise-free 16-bit position command distribution across complex industrial control loops.

Core Technical Advantages

  • Triple Independent RS-485 Ports: Integrates 3 separate serial channels, allowing each port to operate independently across different rate groups and baud configurations.
  • Rapid 5ms Driver Refresh: Delivers high-speed position commands and real-time status updates every 5 milliseconds to maximize control loop responsiveness.
  • Comprehensive Driver Diagnostics: Automatically detects individual driver communication faults and safely disables compromised channels to prevent system disruption.
  • Versatile Control Modes: Flexible operation supports full remote configuration and position control, monitoring-only modes, or hybrid integration alongside 4–20 mA and CAN bus inputs.
