Functional Description

5466-031 is a Network Controller Module developed by Woodward. Its primary purpose is to facilitate efficient data exchange, control signals, and system monitoring. The Module is designed to support up to four channels, allowing for the management of multiple devices or subsystems simultaneously. Each channel provides a dedicated interface for connecting and controlling different components of the system, such as sensors, actuators, and other peripheral devices. With its robust network connectivity, the module enables communication via industry-standard protocols, such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, or other compatible network protocols.

System Fault Tolerance

• Each kernel section of the MicroNet TMR controller independently monitors all input data, performs all application calculations, and generates all output values and responses. The architecture of this control allows it to operate without being affected by a single point of failure.
• The system's CPU fault tolerant 3-2-0 logic, designed for reliability and safety, allows the control to function normally with any CPU module failed or removed, and ensures a safe shutdown with multiple CPU failures. A 3-2-1-0 analog I/O fault tolerance logic allows the control to function normally even if one or both analog modules fail or are removed. A 3-2-1-0 discrete I/O fault tolerance logic allows the control to function normally even if one or two discrete modules fail or are removed.
• A 2-1-0 power supply fault tolerance logic allows the control to function normally even if one of the power supplies fails or is removed. Each kernel CPU module runs the same software program as the other two CPUs, in lock-step. Each kernel's inputs are distributed to the other two kernels. Before sending a signal to the application software, each CPU compares its read value to the value read by the other two CPUs for each sensed input. To generate the same outputs, all CPUs use the same voted input signals in the same application calculations. After that, all output values are exchanged among kernels, the results are voted on, and the appropriate value is output.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 5466-031?
It is Network Controller Module developed by Woodward.

What happens if a CPU module fails or is removed from the system?
The system's CPU utilizes a fault-tolerant 3-2-0 logic, which means the control can function normally even if any one CPU module fails or is removed. 

How does the system handle analog I/O module failures?
The control system incorporates a 3-2-1-0 analog I/O fault tolerance logic. This means that even if one or both analog modules fail or are removed, the control can still function normally. 

How does the control system handle discrete I/O module failures?
The control system employs a 3-2-1-0 discrete I/O fault tolerance logic. This logic allows the control to function normally even if one or two discrete modules fail or are removed.
