As part of the MicroNet Digital Control series, this module provides 48 inputs and 24 outputs for reliable signal handling in demanding environments. The 5466-258 module serves as a direct replacement or upgrade for older discrete I\/O modules, supporting both Simplex and Redundant configurations. It fits into eight- or fourteen-slot chassis and integrates seamlessly with Vertex-Pro compressor control hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications of the 5466-258\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Woodward 5466-258 delivers consistent performance with the following key parameters from the manufacturer:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Input Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 to 32 Vdc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 to 32 Vdc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 Watts at 24 Vdc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModule Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simplex Discrete 48\/24 I\/O Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to 55°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -40 to +105 °F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 lbs (22 kg) when in Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Quality Pollution Degree:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOvervoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Category II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListings:\u003c\/strong\u003e IL, ATEX, CE (EMC), DNV, ABS, and LRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese specifications ensure the 5466-258 operates reliably in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D locations. The 48 inputs and 24 outputs are optically isolated, providing robust signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and Setup Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstalling the Woodward 5466-258 requires proper handling to avoid damage. Insert the module into card guides within the control chassis and connect it to the motherboard. Secure it using the two screws on the front panel — one at the top and one at the bottom. Toggle the two handles outward to disengage the connectors for removal. Connect the module to 24 Vdc power and mount it on a DIN rail. Use the internal +24 V connections or an external 24 V source for wiring inputs. Set the module address using the one and ten rotary switches according to your application. For replacement, set the new node’s address to match the faulty one, mount it on the DIN rail, and reconnect terminal blocks. Reset the node via the application program to clear the no-message fault and resume communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Systems and Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Woodward 5466-258 integrates with MicroNet Plus hardware and the Vertex-Pro chassis. It works in both Simplex and Redundant systems, and fits any eight- or fourteen-slot chassis. The module connects to two high-density discrete\/analog cables when used with twenty-four\/twelve discrete field termination modules. The discrete inputs are optically isolated and accessible through the FTMs. Use this module as a direct upgrade for older Woodward I\/O modules in turbine or compressor control applications, ensuring backward compatibility with existing wiring and control software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide and Purchasing Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore purchasing the Woodward 5466-258, verify that your system uses MicroNet series controllers and that the chassis slots match your configuration. Ensure the power supply provides 18 to 32 Vdc and that the environmental conditions meet the 0-55°C operating range.
