Installation and System Integration Guidelines
You must install the Woodward 5466-355 in Slot 11 of a VME expansion chassis. All intermediate expansion chassis require this module without internal termination resistors. Furthermore, the final chassis in the daisy chain uses a separate terminated transceiver variant. This precise configuration maintains signal quality across the entire extended bus.
Functional Role and Application
This transceiver acts as a bus receiver and driver for the extended VME backplane. The chassis decoder logic activates the module to send or receive information packets. It is essential for creating multi-chassis control systems in power generation and industrial turbine applications. Ultimately, the 5466-355 provides the reliable communication backbone for distributed Woodward control solutions.
