Specifications

Description

The 5462-758B 32-channel Discrete Output Module is a high-density digital interface used for Woodward MicroNet and MicroNet Plus control systems. It allows the Master CPU to trigger up to 32 independent field devices such as solenoid valves, relay coils, and status indicator lamps. Due to high-speed operation, the Output Module ensures that discrete commands such as fuel shut-off or emergency trip signals are executed with the deterministic precision required for turbine and engine safety.

Applications

Thermal power plants: Used in turbine governor systems to drive fuel valves and interlocking relays via high-speed control interfaces.

Heavy chemical plants: Used in ESD and process control cabinets to operate large numbers of solenoid valves with sinking output configuration.

Shipbuilding yards: Used in engine room alarm and automation systems, designed to withstand harsh marine operating conditions.

Automotive assembly plants: Used in paint and assembly lines to control pneumatic valve islands and indicator systems with precise timing.

Feature

High-density switching and command logic
32-channel output module uses one VME slot for high space efficiency. Each channel supports up to 500 mA, driving relays and solenoids. Converts digital signals to outputs for pumps, fans, and dampers.

System integration and fault protection
Each channel has short-circuit and over-current protection. Watchdog timers monitor communication and force safe-state output on CPU failure. LED indicators show real-time status.

Availability and support
Available new and refurbished with full testing. Warranty and technical support provided for installation, wiring, and troubleshooting to ensure system continuity.

FAQ

Q: What is the Woodward 5462-758B?
A: It is a 32-channel Discrete Output Module for MicroNet and MicroNet Plus systems, used to switch DC field devices via control logic.

Q: What is the primary use of 5462-758B?
A: It controls auxiliary turbine and engine equipment such as solenoids, relays, and alarm lamps based on system logic.

Q: What does Open-Collector sinking mean in 5462-758B?
A: It means outputs switch by providing a ground path for the load, requiring an external DC supply (typically 24 VDC).

Q: What happens if a short circuit occurs in 5462-758B field wiring?
A: The affected channel limits or shuts down current to prevent damage, while diagnostics flag the fault via LEDs and system alerts.

Q: What is the maximum rated current per channel of the 5462-758B?
A: Maximum rated current is 500 mA per channel.
