Functional Description

5463-531 is a Output Analog Module developed by Woodward. The Module plays a crucial role in control systems by providing analog output signals that can be used to regulate and control various devices and processes. It serves as a vital interface between the control system and external components, allowing for precise and accurate control over critical variables. The module assembly, developed by Woodward, incorporates several advanced features to enhance its functionality and performance. Among these features are on-board processors for automatic calibration of the I/O channels and a time-stamping feature with 5 ms resolution for analog inputs. The module assembly includes an on-board processor for each board, ensuring accurate and precise calibration of the I/O channels. The automatic calibration capability eliminates the need for manual calibration procedures, simplifying the setup process and reducing maintenance requirements. With the on-board processors, the module assembly can continuously monitor and adjust the calibration of each channel, ensuring optimal accuracy and reliability of the analog output signals. In addition to automatic calibration, the analog inputs of the module assembly are equipped with a time-stamping feature. This feature enables the module to record the precise time at which an input signal crosses predefined thresholds. The time-stamping function provides valuable information for event logging, troubleshooting, and process analysis. With a resolution of 5 ms, the module assembly can accurately capture the timing of input signal changes, allowing for precise monitoring and analysis of time-dependent processes.

System TMR CPU Features

• Each CPU module runs the same software program as the other two. Each kernel's inputs are distributed to the other two kernels. Before sending a signal to the application software, each CPU compares the value it read with the value read by the other two CPUs.
• Depending on the configuration, the voting logic could use a total of nine values for the same input parameter to provide the best signal to the application software. Even if a data value is corrupted along any of the data paths, all CPUs use the same correct data to perform application calculations. To generate the same outputs, all CPUs use the same voted input signals in the same application calculations.
