Functional Description

5500-700 is a PC Board developed by Woodward. MicroNet platform offers a highly flexible and efficient system to control various prime movers and their associated processes. It empowers users with a wide range of functionalities, including high-speed control functions, system sequencing, auxiliary system control, surge control, and comprehensive monitoring and alarming capabilities. The MicroNet platform is designed to meet diverse industrial needs, providing a reliable and adaptable solution for managing and optimizing prime mover operations and related processes.

System Features

• The combination of the MicroNet Operating System and Woodward's GAPTM Graphical Application Program creates a formidable and potent control environment. This dynamic duo enables users to harness the full potential of their control systems, providing an unparalleled level of flexibility and functionality.
• One of the key features that sets Woodward's control system apart is its unique rate group structure. This innovative design ensures that control functions execute with utmost precision and determinism, adhering to rate groups defined by the application engineer. By carefully categorizing and prioritizing tasks based on their criticality, the system can process critical control loops within an astonishingly fast timeframe of just 5 milliseconds. This ensures instantaneous and precise responses for critical processes, contributing to enhanced overall system performance and safety.
• For tasks that are less time-sensitive, Woodward's rate group structure allocates them to slower rate groups, ensuring that they are still processed efficiently without affecting the responsiveness of critical control functions. This segregation of tasks prevents the risk of system dynamics being altered or compromised when new code is introduced. The system remains stable and maintains its predictability, even as the application evolves or expands.
• With Woodward's deterministic and predictable control system, users can have full confidence in the reliability and consistency of their operations. The combination of the MicroNet Operating System and GAPTM Graphical Application Program empowers engineers to design and implement sophisticated control strategies with ease. Critical processes are safeguarded, while less urgent tasks are effectively managed, leading to optimal performance and seamless operation across the entire control environment.
