Description
The WOODWARD 5466-340 F/O FT Receiver Module is a fiber optic communication module designed for the Woodward NetCon 5000 digital control platform. It provides high-speed optical communication between distributed control components by converting electrical signals into fiber optic signals and receiving optical data back into the control system.
The 5466-340 module is used in turbine control, generator automation, compressor control, and industrial power management applications where reliable long-distance communication, electrical isolation, and resistance to electromagnetic interference are required. It supports NetCon 5000 system architectures and is installed as a plug-in communication module within the control chassis.
This module includes fiber optic transmit and receive interfaces, helping maintain stable communication between control nodes in critical industrial environments. It is commonly used as a spare replacement component for existing Woodward NetCon 5000 installations.
