Functional Description

5464-210 is an Actuator Driver Module developed by Woodward. This module receives digital commands from a CPU and generates proportional actuator-driver signals for driving the system's actuators. It offers highly accurate signal scaling and feedback monitoring to ensure reliable and precise operation.

Features

• Proportional Actuator-Driver Signals: The module generates four proportional actuator-driver signals, which are capable of controlling the actuators effectively. The maximum range of these signals is from 0 to 25 mAdc or 0 to 200 mAdc. This wide range of output signals ensures the module can handle various types of actuators, depending on the system requirements.
• Dual-Port Memory Interface: The actuator driver module writes output values to dual-port memory through the VME-bus interface. This allows for efficient and synchronized communication between the actuator module and the controlling system. It ensures that the actuator receives the necessary control signals at the proper time for optimal operation.
• Microcontroller-Based Calibration: The system uses a microcontroller to scale the output values according to calibration constants stored in EEPROM. This allows for precise tuning and ensures that the actuator operates within the desired parameters, improving system performance and longevity.
• Fault Detection and Monitoring: The module continuously monitors the output voltage and current of each channel. If any fault occurs, such as an issue with the channel or the load, the system alerts the user. A FAULT LED will illuminate to signal the presence of a fault. The system can also disable the current drivers individually, ensuring the module continues operating normally in the event of a fault on a specific channel.

Design and Integration

• The actuator driver module is designed for panel-mount installation, which allows for easy integration into control panels. This feature makes it highly versatile and suitable for various industrial applications, simplifying installation and maintenance.
• The module comes with user-friendly software tools that simplify its setup and maintenance. These tools enable users to configure the actuator driver module with ease, making the system more accessible and reducing the complexity typically associated with actuator control systems.

Benefits

• Robust design and monitoring features provide both reliability and safety, while the ability to handle multiple actuator signals allows for greater flexibility in system design.
• By offering fault detection, calibration scaling, and easy integration into control systems, this module ensures the smooth and reliable operation of industrial actuators, leading to enhanced system performance and reduced maintenance requirements.
