Woodward 5437-672 NetCon Field Terminal Module (FTM)

Product Description: The 5437-672 is a Woodward NetCon field termination module for MicroNet / MicroNet TMR turbine control systems. It acts as the wiring interface between the main control board and field actuators, specially designed for dual-channel bipolar servo actuator output signals. It provides screw terminal connections, signal filtering and surge protection for ±mA servo drive signals to electro-hydraulic servo valves, converting backplane bus signals into field-level control outputs for steam/gas turbine valve positioning.

Features:

• Belongs to Woodward NetCon 5400 series, compatible with MicroNet TMR triple redundant turbine control rack
• Dual channel bipolar servo actuator termination, supports ±mA proportional servo outputs
• 37-pin connector to backplane, screw-clamp field terminals for easy wiring and maintenance
• Built-in signal conditioning, noise filtering and transient suppression for EMC harsh power plant cabinet environment
• Standard Eurocard board form factor, hot-swappable in MicroNet rack
• Onboard status indicators for channel fault and wiring diagnostics
• Matches Woodward servo output controller cards such as 5501-1428 series

Applications:

• Gas turbine and steam turbine control system valve servo drive termination
• Power plant MicroNet TMR redundant governor cabinet spare replacement
• Oil & gas compressor turbine control panel
• Industrial prime mover electro-hydraulic actuator control loop
• Legacy Woodward NetCon system retrofit and maintenance project

FAQ:

Q: What is the function of 5437-672?
A: It is a field terminal module, not a main governor. It only routes and conditions servo output signals from the main controller to hydraulic servo actuators.

Q: Can it work on other Woodward platforms like 505 or easYgen?
A: No, it is exclusive to MicroNet / NetCon architecture and cannot be used standalone or with other series controllers.

Q: Is 5437-672 still in production?
A: The MicroNet NetCon series is obsolete. Available stock is NOS surplus or fully tested refurbished units.
