Actuator Control Module Woodward 5501-432 2-Channel for NetCon Systems

Description

The Woodward 5501-432 2CH Actuator Control Module is part of the NetCon controller family, engineered for high-precision actuator management in demanding industrial environments. It supports two independent actuator channels, each capable of delivering up to 200 mA (245 mA max) for responsive and accurate control. Each channel can interface with one or two feedback devices, such as LVDTs or RVDTs, enabling closed-loop position control with high resolution. Moreover, the module includes watchdog hardware to monitor logic power and microcontroller activity, enhancing system reliability and fault tolerance. Its compact form factor and modular design make it ideal for integration into turbine control panels, compressor stations, and other automation systems. Therefore, the 5501-432 is widely used in applications requiring precise actuator positioning, real-time feedback, and robust fault monitoring.
