Functional Description

5432-273 is an Auxiliary I/O Module developed by Woodward. It is a part of MicroNet system. It enhances system functionality by providing reliable input/output (I/O) operations and ensuring compatibility with a range of devices and applications.

Features

• The module is designed for hassle-free replacement. Users can replace it with another module of the same part number without requiring adjustments, simplifying maintenance and minimizing downtime.
• When interfacing with non-isolated devices capable of exceeding 200 Vdc to the control's common, it is strongly recommended to use a loop isolator. This breaks return current paths, preventing erroneous readings and ensuring operational safety.
• Each board is equipped with an on-board processor that automatically calibrates the I/O channels. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments, ensuring accuracy and consistency over time.
• The analog inputs feature time-stamping with a 5 ms resolution. This function supports two low setpoints and two high setpoints, enhancing precision in monitoring and data recording.
• By addressing potential issues with return current paths, the module ensures accurate and stable readings, critical for effective system control.

Installation

• Slide into Card Guides: The module slides into the card guides located in the control chassis.
• Plug into the Motherboard: It connects to the motherboard via secure connectors.
• Secure the Module: Two screws, one at the top and one at the bottom of the module's front panel, firmly hold it in place.
• Use the Handles for Removal: The module features handles at the top and bottom. To remove the module, toggle (push outward) the handles, which disengages the module from the motherboard connectors for safe removal.
