Product Overview

The Woodward 5464-843 belongs to the MicroNet Digital Control family. This NetCon 5000 CPU module operates as a smart I/O device. The 5464-843 has its own on-board microcontroller for intelligent processing. During initialization, the module runs power-on self-tests automatically. The CPU tells this module which rate group each channel must run. The 5464-843 then broadcasts a key to all I/O cards for rate group updates.
