Product Description


Woodward 5501-471 | MicroNet NetCon SIO Serial I/O Module
Serial Communication & Discrete I/O Expansion Module for MicroNet Simplex Control Systems
1. Product Overview

The Woodward 5501-471 is a NetCon SIO (Serial Input/Output) module, a dedicated communication and I/O expansion component of the MicroNet Digital Control series, designed for simplex operation in MicroNet Simplex/Plus chassis with 24 VDC low-voltage power input. It integrates multiple serial communication ports (RS-232, RS-485) and discrete I/O channels, supporting Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols for seamless data exchange between MicroNet controllers, I/O modules, and third-party devices. Equipped with LED status indicators for real-time communication and fault monitoring, it is a critical I/O expansion module for industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication and discrete signal processing.

4. Installation & Maintenance
Installation: Insert into MicroNet simplex chassis; connect 24 VDC power; set communication parameters (baud rate, parity, address) via DIP switches; establish VME bus connection with processor module; wire RS-232/RS-485 and discrete I/O signals.
Maintenance: Regularly check LED indicators for power, communication, and I/O status; inspect wiring connections for tightness and corrosion; verify communication protocol settings match with connected devices.
Fault Diagnosis: Use LED indicators to locate communication/I/O/power faults; check DIP switch settings for correct protocol/baud rate; test serial bus connectivity with a multimeter; replace faulty module if necessary.
