Description
Product Overview
The Woodward 5437-672 is a NetCon series field terminal remote I/O module developed for Woodward turbine and genset control platforms. It serves as a distributed field interface between local field sensors, actuators and the main controller, collecting discrete and analog field signals and transmitting data over deterministic industrial communication links. This remote I/O unit reduces lengthy field wiring by placing signal termination close to process equipment, minimizing EMI noise and cable costs. It supports real-time I/O data acquisition and output drive for gas turbines, steam turbines and reciprocating engine generator control systems. Built-in LED status indicators offer instant visibility of channel and module health, with comprehensive self-diagnostic functions to detect wiring faults and module failures. It is commonly stocked as a drop-in spare for power generation, combined cycle and industrial prime mover control cabinets.
