Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the Woodward 5464-836, ensure the MicroNet chassis provides proper backplane connections via the VME bus standard. The module mounts in any I/O slot, but application software assigns each module a designated slot—verify slot assignment in your configuration. For I/O wiring, run cables from the front of the module to field termination modules (FTMs) in the cabinet. Observe wiring methods per Class I, Division 2 requirements for hazardous locations. The input PE terminal must be grounded; note that ground leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA. Only use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, or non-hazardous areas; 16-channel relay interfaces are for non-hazardous locations only.
