Woodward 5466-031 Network Controller Module

Functional Description

The Woodward 5466-031 is a Network Controller Module designed to enable efficient data exchange, control signals, and system monitoring. It supports up to four channels, providing interfaces to connect and control various components, such as sensors, actuators, and peripherals. The module offers robust network connectivity with support for industry-standard protocols like Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, or other compatible protocols.

System Fault Tolerance

• Independent Monitoring: Each kernel section of the MicroNet TMR controller independently monitors all input data, performs calculations, and generates output values.
• CPU Fault Tolerant Logic (3-2-0): The system continues operating with any failed or removed CPU module and ensures a safe shutdown in case of multiple failures.
• Analog I/O Fault Tolerant Logic (3-2-1-0): The system operates normally even with one or two failed or removed analog modules.
• Discrete I/O Fault Tolerant Logic (3-2-1-0): The system remains functional even if one or two discrete modules fail or are removed.
• Power Supply Fault Tolerance (2-1-0): The system operates normally with a failed or removed power supply.
• Kernel Synchronization: All kernel CPU modules run the same software in lock-step, ensuring identical inputs are distributed across CPUs. Outputs are voted upon before being sent to the application software, ensuring consistency.
