FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

5463-368 is a Bridge Interface Board manufactured and designed by Woodward as part of the 5000 Series used in Woodward Control Systems. The NetCon 5000 DPS3/DT module is a plug-in I/O communication module used within the Woodward NetCon 5000 control platform. It provides deterministic digital-processing services required for distributed protective, supervisory, and telemetry functions in generation and turbine control applications. The DPS3/DT module collects discrete and analog inputs, implements logic and time-critical processing, and presents processed signals to the NetCon backplane and networked controllers for load sharing, protection, and local operator interface.

• Acquire and condition multiple discrete and analog signals (status, binary inputs, sensor transducers).
• Perform deterministic processing for protection, sequencing, interlocks, and control logic with configurable timers and thresholds.
• Provide communications to the NetCon 5000 chassis and peer modules (backplane + fieldbus) for coordinated plant control.
• Present diagnostic status, alarms, and event logging for field troubleshooting and maintenance.
• Support firmware/configuration download and runtime parameter tuning via the NetCon engineering workstation.

OPERATION:

The DPS3/DT module operates as a high-speed digital processing and sequencing unit within the NetCon 5000 control architecture, executing user-defined logic for turbine or generator control. Upon power-up, the module performs an internal self-test to verify processor health, memory integrity, and I/O circuitry before transitioning to active mode. Once operational, it continuously scans discrete and analog input channels, applies configured filtering, debouncing, and scaling parameters, and executes control logic in deterministic cycles to ensure consistent response times. Output commands are generated based on the logic results, driving relay or solid-state outputs to operate contactors, annunciators, or interlocks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is the primary function of the DPS3/DT module in the NetCon 5000 system?

The DPS3/DT module performs high-speed digital processing, sequencing, and discrete I/O handling for turbine and generator control applications. It acquires and conditions input signals, executes logic operations, and controls discrete outputs based on configured parameters.

Can the DPS3/DT module operate independently of the NetCon 5000 controller?

The module relies on the NetCon 5000 central processor for coordination, communication, and system-level logic execution. It functions as part of the overall control architecture via the backplane.

How is the DPS3/DT module configured?

Configuration is performed through the NetCon engineering workstation software, where parameters such as I/O mapping, logic functions, timing delays, and trip thresholds are defined. These settings are downloaded to the module’s non-volatile memory.
