WOODWARD 5437-173 NETCON FIELD TERMINAL is mainly used as the connection between the control system (MicroNet) and the field devices in the MicroNet control system architecture. The main functions of WOODWARD 5437-173 are: on-site signal connection & distribution, data communication between the control system and equipment, signal isolation & conversion, and transmission of control commands.
The use of WOODWARD 5437-173 allows the system to operate in an automated "distributed control + centralized management" mode, thus improving the system's response efficiency.
Installation and Usage
The termination resistors should be installed on the last unit on each end of the network. On the Real-Time SIO module, the termination resistor is installed by closing switches 3 and 4 and leaving switches 1 and 2 open for each channel. On the Digital Driver, the termination resistor is installed by moving the RS-485 termination jumpers to the "IN" position.
Shields should be connected to earth ground at all intermediate terminal blocks, as well as terminated at the control terminal block. The exposed wire length beyond the shield should be limited to 25 mm (1 inch).
Do not place shielded wires in the same cable conduit with high-voltage or large-current-carrying cables.
Cable shields must be electrically continuous from the signal source to the point where the signal wire enters the field terminal module.
The address settings on the Digital Drivers should match the addresses in the GAP application program.
Each network consists of one channel of a LINKnet controller module and many I/O modules. The I/O modules include thermocouple, RTD, 4-20 mA, and discrete input modules, as well as 4-20 mA and relay output modules. All of the analog modules consist of six channels per module. The relay output module contains eight channels, and the discrete input module has 16 channels. Each I/O module is housed in a plastic, field termination module type package for DIN rail mounting. The LINKnet I/O modules can be mounted in the control cabinet or in any convenient location in the vicinity of the prime mover that meets the temperature and vibration specifications. The LINKnet system accommodates hot-replacement of faulty nodes.
