Functional Description

5437-419 is a Netcon 24 Channel Field Terminal Module developed by Woodward. These modules are designed to connect seamlessly to the subminiature D-type connectors located on the front of the I/O modules, facilitating secure and organized terminations for field wiring. FTMs act as the bridge between the field wiring and the I/O Modules of the MicroNet control system. By connecting directly to the D-type connectors on the I/O modules, FTMs ensure a streamlined and straightforward integration process, reducing installation time and complexity.

Features

  • Equipped with cage-clamp terminal connection points, offering a reliable and vibration-resistant means of connecting the field wiring. The cage-clamp mechanism securely holds the wires in place, preventing accidental disconnections and ensuring stable connections in demanding industrial environments.
  • In addition to providing robust electrical connections, it is designed to handle shield termination for field wiring. This feature is essential for effectively managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) that may occur in industrial settings. Proper shield termination helps maintain signal integrity and reduces the risk of signal disturbances caused by external electromagnetic noise.
  • They are designed to be conveniently mounted on 35 mm DIN Rails, a widely used standard in industrial installations. This mounting option enables easy and secure attachment of the FTMs to control panels or cabinets, keeping the wiring organized and accessible for maintenance.
  • FTMs eliminate the need for interposing terminal blocks when connecting field wiring to the I/O Modules. The use of FTMs streamlines the wiring process, reducing the number of components and potential points of failure in the control system. This simplification contributes to improved reliability and ease of maintenance.
  • By offering secure and efficient field wiring connections, FTMs contribute to the overall integrity and reliability of the MicroNet control system. Properly terminated and shielded field wiring ensures accurate data transmission and reliable control signals, enhancing the system's performance and responsiveness.
  • Designed to be compatible with various I/O Modules of the MicroNet control system. Their versatile design and standardized connectors make them suitable for a wide range of applications, accommodating diverse field wiring requirements.

Replacing a Fuse on FTM

  • Confirm the Issue is Resolved: Before proceeding with the fuse replacement, verify that the root cause leading to the fuse blowing has been identified and corrected. Thoroughly inspect the system to address any faults or overloads that may have triggered the fuse failure. Rectifying the underlying problem is essential to prevent future fuse issues.
  • Carefully Remove the FTM Cover: Prior to accessing the fuse, exercise caution when removing the FTM cover to avoid contact with any sensitive FTM circuitry beneath. Gently pinch the retaining barb on the cover while lifting it to ensure a secure grip. Taking care during this step helps prevent damage to the circuitry and reduces the risk of electrical hazards.
  • Locate and Replace the Fuse: Locate the blown fuse inside the FTM, and proceed to replace it with a new fuse of the exact size, type, and rating as the original one. For precise information about the fuse location, consult Figure 13-4 or refer to the channel fuse location section in the documentation. When removing and inserting the new fuse, ensure that the system is disconnected from power to avoid potential electrical risks.
  • Select a Matching Replacement Fuse: It is vital to use an identical replacement fuse to maintain the proper protection and operational integrity of the FTM and the overall control system. Choose a fuse with the same specifications as the blown one, which can be found in the system documentation or indicated on the FTM module's label.
  • Install the New Fuse: Carefully insert the new fuse into the designated slot within the FTM, making sure it is securely seated in its holder.
  • Restore the FTM Cover: Once the new fuse is in place, reattach the FTM cover carefully. Align the cover correctly and gently press it back into position until the retaining barb securely holds it in place.
  • Verify the Fuse Replacement: Double-check all connections and components to confirm that the replacement process has been completed accurately. Ensure there are no loose wires or other issues that could lead to potential future fuse problems.
  • Reconnect and Test: After the fuse replacement and system inspection, reconnect the power to the FTM and the overall control system. Power on the system and conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue has been resolved and that all components are functioning correctly.
  • Maintain Proper Documentation: Keep a record of the fuse replacement and any related maintenance actions. Maintaining proper documentation helps track the system's history and can be valuable for future troubleshooting or maintenance purposes.

Characteristics

  • It is an analog module, these signals are pivotal for monitoring and controlling critical parameters in processes. In an era where precision and real-time data are paramount, this module plays a vital role in ensuring the seamless operation of industrial systems.
  • One feature of this module is its employment of screw clamp terminals. These terminals offer a secure and reliable means of connecting wires and cables. Their design minimizes the risk of loose connections or signal interference, ensuring consistent and accurate data transmission. This reliability is especially crucial in demanding industrial environments, where the stability of connections can significantly impact the performance of the entire system.
  • The module boasts a 27-pin connector, which serves as a central hub for communication within the system. This connector not only simplifies installation and maintenance but also enhances the overall robustness of the module. Its design allows for dependable and efficient data exchange between the module and the broader control system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 5437-419?
It is a Netcon 24 Channel Field Terminal Module developed by Woodward.

What are cage-clamp terminals in FTMs and relay modules?
Cage-clamp terminals are specialized connectors used in Field Termination Modules (FTMs) and relay modules. They provide a secure and reliable means of connecting field wiring to the control system.

What is the maximum wire size that cage-clamp terminals can accommodate in FTMs and relay modules?
The cage-clamp terminals in FTMs and relay modules are designed to accept a maximum of one 12 AWG wire or two 18 AWG wires.

How is field wiring hookup performed with cage-clamp terminals?
Field wiring hookup with cage-clamp terminals is a straightforward process. The wire is stripped back by approximately 0.312 inches (8 mm) to expose the conductor, and then it is inserted into the cage clamp. Finally, the screw on the cage clamp is tightened to secure the wire in place.
